Baco Noir Grape aka Baco 1, Baco N°1, Baco #1, Bacoi, Bago, Bakon, or Bako Speiskii is a French hybrid red wine grape cross of V. vinifera and V. riparia. Whew! This grape is resis tant to powdery mildew, downy mildew, black rot, phylloxera and is unnatractive to Japanese beetles, making it one of the better varieties to grow in the eastern US. Early ripening, it is a recommended variety for cooler viticulture areas such as Oregon, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Vigorous vines are productive of small jet black fruit that make a rich, heavy, deep red flavorful wine. Grapes from our Mother Farm tested 20.9° on the Brix scale. Best with a long aging. Due to its strong vigor and disease resistance it is good for arbor plantings. Originated in France by Francois Baco. Show more
