The Cabernet Franc
It is one of the most famous and widespread red grape varieties in the world. Originally from the Iberian side of the Pyrenees and then arrives in Gironde,
the French province of Bordeaux where it gives life to important wines.  It has been cultivated in Italy since the 19th century and has found its natural habitat in Friuli Venezia Giulia, where it is vinified in purity.  Recently, it is also cultivated in Tuscany and Puglia with excellent results.  From the name of the grape we can guess its main characteristic, a frank wine with a unique and unmistakable aroma.  Cabernet Franc has found an ideal setting in our Terroir with a particularly balanced maturation between sugar content and polyphenols.
