What is d’Abruzzo wine?

Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is an Italian red wine made from the Montepulciano wine grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy. It should not be confused with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a Tuscan wine made from Sangiovese and other grapes.

Is Carmenere similar to Cabernet?

I found Carmenere to be similar to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, in that it has a deep red color, with aromas of fruit and pepper. But, where Cabs and Merlots typically have dark fruit flavors, Carmenere offers more red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, resulting in a very different flavor.

Is Carmenere the same as cabernet franc?

The four grapes of Merlot, Carménère, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Hondarribi Beltza have the same parent, which is Cabernet Franc. Carménère is particularly unique because Cabernet Franc is it’s parent, as well as it’s great great grandparent – perhaps this helps explain why Carménère and Cabernet Franc taste so similar!
