Baco noir (pronounced BA-koh NWAHR; Baco noir is also called Baco 1) is a hybrid wine grape variety produced from a cross of Vitis vinifera var. (Folle Blanche, a French wine grape) and a unknown variety of Vitis Riparia (an American wine grape).
Baco noir was first created by French wine hybridizer Maurice Baco (hence the name of the grape). Baco noir is grown in New York state, in the United States and Ontario, Canada.
