Cabernet Franc
Recently discovered to be one of the parent grape species that gave rise to the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Mainly found in cooler, damper climatic conditions than its offspring. Shows moderately vigorous growth and earlier wood and crop maturation than Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine from these grapes has a deep purple colour when young, with a herbaceous aroma. This French varietal is widely grown in all Italian regions, but especially in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Produces very characteristic reds.
