Charbono is a red wine grape varietal that is mostly grown in California. It is also known by the name Douce Noir in the Savoie region of France, where it is believed to have originated. The grape produces medium to full-bodied wines characterized by their dark, inky color, high tannins and acidity.
In terms of flavors, Charbono wines typically offer a mix of cherry, blackberry, plum, black fruits, and sometimes a hint of chocolate. Some also detect a bit of herbal notes, such as mint or dried herbs. It often benefits from aging to soften the firm tannins and enhance the complexity of flavors.
Despite the high-quality wines it produces, Charbono is not widely grown because it's a challenging grape to farm due to its late ripening and susceptibility to various vine diseases. As a result, it remains a relatively obscure wine, held in high esteem by wine enthusiasts who appreciate its uniqueness.
