Cabernet Sauvignon wine
The grapes used for the production of the Cabernet Sauvignon are within the most renowned and loved wines: red berries coming from Bordeaux that today are spread all around the world. For years there were a discussion about where the Cabernet Sauvignon really comes from and recent studies find out that this vine is the result of the natural mixing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, which is where its name comes from. The Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by bunches with very little berry with a very thick colored peel.

Depending on the cultivation method the Cabernet Sauvignon could be more or less enduring, normally three or four years for the ordinary cultivation up to twenty years if the profit is minimum and the cultivation follows high qualitative level. The cultivation of the Sauvignon Cabernet is the basis to obtain a unique and refined wine. The profit can’t be very high because the production could be low quality. Also the aromas and flavors of the Cabernet Sauvignon wine depend on the cultivation territory and the maturation of the berries. The common remarkable aroma is the currant which is present in all the wines. In addition there is a vegetal aroma if the picking of the grapes is made when they are not too ripen.
