More informations about the variety Baco noir
It is the only vinifera-riparia that has been commercialized. It is the result of crossing the folle blanche with the riparia grand glabre created in 1902 by François Baco. Depending on the region, we can still find some small plots of black Baco vines often mixed with other varieties. You will also find trellises or arbors installed a long time ago in front of old houses and still maintained in a more than remarkable way thanks to the great vigour of this variety. It should be noted that there is also a white baco resulting from the crossing of the folle blanche by the noah and resembling much the latter.
