Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s most famous red grape varieties, native to France and now grown in many countries. Cabernet Sauvignon wines are prized for their structure, firm tannins and great capacity to age. They offer aromas of black fruits, spices and herbaceous notes, with nuances that vary depending on the climate and maturation. It’s ideal for those seeking an intense yet elegant red wine, perfect with red meats and aged cheeses.
What kind of wine is Cabernet Sauvignon?
Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry, structured, tannic red wine made from the grape of the same name. It stands out for its deep color, good acidity and aging potential, especially in versions aged in oak.
What’s the difference between Merlot and Cabernet?
Merlot is generally softer, rounder and fruitier, with gentle tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, on the other hand, shows firmer tannins, greater structure, and aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and spice.
What does Cabernet taste like?
Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense, persistent palate, with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, pepper and aromatic herbs. With age it can develop hints of tobacco, cedar and vanilla.
Where is Cabernet grown in Italy?
In Italy, Cabernet Sauvignon is cultivated mainly in Tuscany, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Alto Adige. It is particularly renowned in Tuscany, where it also contributes to the production of famous red wines such as the Super Tuscans.
