The Wine Grapes of Switzerland

Bondola

An indigenous and ancient red grape from Ticino, Bondola has slightly higher acidity and lower alcohol, and produces a good simple table wine, often called Nostrano.

Cabernet franc

Cabernet franc, one of the Bordeaux grapes, is a bit like the little brother of the Cabernet sauvignon grape. Cabernet franc is usually used for blending.

Altesse

More appreciated on its home turf between Lyon and Lake Geneva, it thrives in Valais

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart.
