Discover the grape variety: Cabernet-Sauvignon

Structured, tannic reds, deeply coloured, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco and graphite, underpinned by firm acidity and fine ageing potential. Cornerstone of the great Médoc estates (Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien) and signature of Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo. The world's most planted red variety, a natural cross of Cabernet Franc x Sauvignon Blanc born in Bordeaux.

The wine region of Tuscany

Kingdom of Sangiovese: upright reds with cherry, plum, dried herbs and leather, lively acidity and firm tannins. Fleshy, food-friendly Chianti Classico DOCG, deep long-ageing Brunello di Montalcino (spice, tobacco, ripe black fruit), elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. On the coast, Bolgheri crafts the opulent Cabernet- and Merlot-based 'Super Tuscans'. Some fresh white Vernaccia.

The word of the wine: Tastevin

Metal cup, wide and of low height, being used to mirror and taste the wine. Still used in wine brotherhoods for its emblematic and folkloric character, the tastevin has been replaced by the various tasting glasses.
