Pinot Noir is over 1000 years older than Cabernet Sauvignon. Pinot Noir ranks with some of the oldest grapes in the world. Grapes that have been around since the Roman times also include Muscat Blanc — the Moscato grape, Timorasso, a rare white grape with only 50 acres around Piedmont Italy, and nearly extinct Gouais Blanc, which supposedly was ‘the grape’ of the middle ages in Europe.
