AROMA OF WINE

Green bell peppers, fine tannins, red and blackberries

As one of the most ancient and important varieties in the Bordeaux family, Cabernet Franc often fades in the limelight of its offspring; Cabernet Sauvignon. In comparison, Cabernet Franc is often lighter, less intense, and more aromatic.

It is often tasted together with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as the famous Bordeaux blend; a mix that is said to utilize the grape’s attractiveness. When going solo, Cabernet Franc produces tasty wines in cool and challenging areas, such as Washington (US) and Long Island (New Zealand).

The Italian version, mostly grown in Tuscany and up north, generates references to ripe, rich, and sophisticated wines. You can feel the earth and the soil, which also is the essence of tasting the same grapes grown in different places – a sense of its terroir.

In the warm valleys like Anjou in the Loire, the ripening gives the wine a more silky touch.
