Charbono
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charbono is an uncommon grape found primarily in California. After genetic testing conducted by Carole Meredith, it was determined to be the same grape as the grape known as Corbeau, Charbonneau, or Douce Noire in the Savoie region of France; it may also be related to Dolcetto. The wine made from charbono tends to be dark, with medium to high tannins and acidity.
Wineries that make charbono wines include Summers, Turley, Duxoup, Bonny Doon, Tofanelli, OnThEdge, Robert Foley, Pacific Star,and Shypoke
