Cabernet Franc wine,Italy Le Monde Winery price supplier

Cabernet Franc is one of the major black grape varieties worldwide. It is principally grown for blending with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in the Bordeaux style, but can also be vinified alone.
Cabernet Franc is lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon, making a bright pale RED WINE that contributes finesse and lends a peppery perfume to blends with more robust grapes. Depending on the growing region and style of wine, additional aromas can include tobacco, raspberry, bell pepper, cassis, and violets.
