Carcajolo Noir

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carcajolo Noir is an autochthonous red wine variety on the island of Corsica in France. There it is mainly grown in the area around Figari in the south of the island. The Italian ampelographer Bruni believes that the variety came to Corsica from Sardinia via the port of Bonifacio . In Portugal the variety is known as Monvedro or Bonvedro , in Sardinia as Caricagiola and in Australia as False Carignan . In Corsica in 1988 were 47 hectares , 73 hectares under vine in Portugal.

The late-ripening variety produces alcoholic, deep-dark red wines with an aroma of raspberry and the wild fruits of the macchia . Carcajolo Noir is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.

The white variety Carcajolo Blanc is also found in Corsica .
