Which Italian grapes and wines have the highest levels of procyanidin, the substance that is really the wine-key to enhanced heart health? (NB: Resveratrol doesn't actually do much for the old ticker.)
Which Italian wine has the highest level of procyanidin of any wine so far tested for it in the world?
The procyanidin news is most promising for red-wine producers in SW France, various parts of Italy, and in Argentina...with some qualifications.
Stay tuned.
Procyanidin is a tannin so my guess is an old world wine red astringent and bitter...could be a Brunello?
You can also find procyanidin in dark chocolate, any kind of fruit and vegetables green tea and so on.
Buona Bevuta a Tutti
