Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon , together with merlot, petit verdot and malbec, are the main grape varieties that are the basis for the production of the great Bordeaux reds. Speaking of "Bordeaux blend", we refer to a blend of these noble grapes, which have been grown in the Medoc region for centuries. In particular, cabernet sauvignon represents today one of the most widespread varieties ever in the world of viticulture and together with merlot and chardonnay it is part of the small number of international varieties widespread in all countries of the wine world .
It is a red grape variety from the Gironde region, born from a spontaneous cross between cabernet franc and sauvignon blanc. The bouquet expresses notes of small dark berry fruits, floral scents, slightly herbaceous and delicately spiced nuances. On the palate it has an important body and structure with a dense tannic texture and lively acidity. It is a wine destined for long aging, which needs to be refined in wood to express its full aromatic potential and be enriched with interesting and complex tertiary notes. In Italy it is traditionally present in the Triveneto regions, but has found a second home in Tuscany, in the Bolgheri area, where it expresses itself at the highest quality levels, reaching full and perfect ripeness with warmer and more Mediterranean characteristics.
Both cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon , thanks to their structure and intensity, at the table go very well with second courses of roasted red meats, grilled, stewed or with feathered and furred game.
