Carignan

Carignan Wine Details
Price: $16.95 per bottle

Description: 100% Carignan grapes with flavors of plum, raspberry fruits that linger on the palate. Deep plum color, hints of smoke and oak. Fruity with a spicy finish. Medium bodied. Carignan is a late budding grape that needs a warm climate to ripen, such as we have here in Gilroy. Most vines in California are old and ours are over 70 years old. In Italy it is called Carignano and can be found on the island of Sardinia and in the region of Lazio on the west coast of the boot.
