Cabernet Franc

The Cabernet Franc vine is probably of Illyrian origin and ancestor of the most famous Cabernet Sauvignon, born in the Middle Ages from a spontaneous cross with Sauvignon Blanc. A frank wine with a clean, unmistakably herbaceous aroma and notes of black pepper. A wine with a strong personality, the taste reveals itself as crisp, full-bodied and with a long taste-nose persistence.
