Charbono (沙邦樂)

限量供應" 全加州只有88公頃地生產Charbono葡萄。 入口味道濃郁,餘韻力度強,可陳年。 有黑草莓味,?燻木香味的感覺。
Originally from Italy, it is the rarest of Italian reds. In California, this varietal dates back to the 1800's. The vines do best in warm to hot climates. There are only a few acres planted in California and most are old vines. A Charbono is best aged five to ten years, with the best of them aging for up to 20 years.
Charbono is very full-bodied, one of the most darkly colored grapes, and has pronounced but soft tannins. All of these attributes are impeccably balanced so that the result is a wine that is highly pleasing and extremely well-liked by consumers. These attributes also mean that charbono is one of the most versatile wines with food. Sadly there is very little charbono planted in America - and very little left in Europe today. But we are certainly big fans of charbono and bet you will be too!
