Details and technical informations about Winery Bonacquisti's Colorado Cabernet Franc.
Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc
Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.

The wine region of Colorado
Colorado is a state in the western United States, bordered by NewMexico to the South and Wyoming to the North. Colorado's vineyards are among the highest in the world, reaching altitudes of 2135 m in the Rocky Mountains. They rival even the famous Andean vineyards of Argentina. Grapes grown at this altitude produce wine with vibrant, intense colors and aromas created by the intense sunlight and cool nights.
The word of the wine: Pommadé
Said of a wine that is unbalanced, pasty, syrupy, and whose excessive sugar content gives an impression of heaviness.
