Written By Ellen Grantz

Cabernet Franc has been popular in Friuli’s vineyards for over 200 years, as the varietal is ideally suited to the region’s cool climate and rocky soil. Compared to Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley, this wine is similarly herbaceous, less “barnyard” and fruiHer. It is lighter and brighter than Cabernet Franc from California.
