Winegrowing in Fitou

Fitou (French pronunciation: [fitu] ; Occitan: Fiton) is a large French wine appellation in Languedoc-Roussillon, France. The dominant vine variety is Carignan which has to constitute 40% of any blend for that to qualify for the appellation. Grenache, Lladoner Pelut (the 'hairy' Grenache), Mourvèdre and Syrah are often blended with it. Muscat de Rivesaltes AOC, a vin doux naturel, also comes from the region.
