Cabernet

A collective term for the two red grape varieties Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, which is particularly common in Italy. Although they are closely related (the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon are Cabernet Franc x Sauvignon Blanc), it is not always clear which one is meant. In northern Italy in particular, it is not always clear which variety is included in some DOC wines. As a rule, however, Cabernet Sauvignon is more likely to be meant, above all because this variety is more frequently represented. However, Cabernet is also synonymous with the grape varieties Béquignol Noir and Carmenère.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
