Libra Wine: Elegance, Harmony, and Charm in Liquid Form

Harmonizing wines with zodiac signs? Yes! And the more we observe, the more sense it makes.

Back in 2011, I came across an article that enchanted me: "Sommelière Cecília Aldaz harmonizes wines and signs." I clipped it, saved it, and never forgot it. Because the truth is that grapes have personality, too. Some are intense, others subtle. Some impose themselves, others seduce. And that says a lot.

Today is the day to celebrate Libra, the sign of balance, beauty, and the search for harmony.

⚖️ The Grape of Libra: CABERNET FRANC!

Libras have a natural talent for reading the room and understanding what others need. They seek the middle ground, good conviviality, and dialogue. They are sociable, refined, and generally have a keen aesthetic sense. But don't be fooled into thinking they lack firmness: beneath the apparent lightness, there is depth and conviction.

Cabernet Franc translates this essence with sweetness and elegance.

It's a grape that prefers cooler climates and dislikes extremes—just like Libra, which values moderation and diplomacy. At the same time, it delivers wines full of personality, with a lighter profile than its sister, Cabernet Sauvignon, yet still expressive, with delicate notes and a striking finish.

It is a grape that knows how to coexist, adapt, and conquer—without needing to fight for space.

🍷 What is Wine Made from Cabernet Franc Like?

According to the Wine Folly Essential Guide to Wine, Cabernet Franc gives rise to medium-bodied red wines that balance acidity, tannins, and fruit with near-mathematical—or rather, artistic—precision.

That's why they are called "gastronomic wines": versatile, pleasant, and balanced. They pair well with a huge variety of dishes, from light pasta and grilled foods to mushrooms and aged cheeses. They are ideal for accompanying a good dinner, a good conversation, or a gathering that calls for harmony.

🌿 A Wine with a Libran Soul

Libra teaches us the art of meeting, diplomacy, and the middle path. And Cabernet Franc does this in the form of wine: it delivers lightness with presence, flavor with smoothness, and pleasure with elegance.

It is the ideal companion for the glass and for life.

And you? Do you feel that this wine is completely you? Tell me here in the comments... I'd love to know! 🥂
