An ancient grape variety cultivated in Italy, where it originated and is almost no longer multiplied, unknown in France as in most other wine-producing countries. It should not be confused with Bondoletta, a cross between Bondola Noire and Completer, and with the red prié called Bonda in Valle d'Aosta - Italy - (José F. Vouillamoz and Giulio Moriondo), which has almost disappeared from the vineyards today, and which is not related to Bondola Noire. Note that the white Bondola - very rare - is not the white form.

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.
