In the Loire region of France it is called Breton, in southwest France it is called Bouchy or Bouchet, and in northeast Italy it is called Bordo.

   Cabernet Franc
   Where it comes from: French red grape from Bordeaux (where it usually plays an understudy role to Cabernet Sauvignon) and the Loire (where it stars on its own). Flavour profile: Raspberry and blackcurrant flavours are common, but the real giveaway is its distinctive leafy, grassy, herbaceous aroma. Where to find it: Recently discovered to be one of the parents of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety, Cabernet Franc has for a long time lived in the shadow of its illustrious descendant. It is a common blending component of many Bordeaux wines, and is successful as a varietal red wine throughout the Loire Valley of France, most notably in the appellations of Chinon and Bourgeuil. Also common in the north-eastern Italian regions of Veneto and Fruili. Elsewhere it is grown in limited quantities in California, Australia and South Africa, where it is sometimes bottled on its own.
