Cariñena Aragon vin rouge tranquille

Origin

Cariñena, located in the province of Zaragoza

Also known as

Carignan

Cariñena — known in France as Carignan — was born in Aragon, in the eponymous DO Cariñena region. On the high Aragonese plateaus at 400–800 metres, swept by the Cierzo wind, old bush-trained vines on clay-limestone soils produce wines of remarkable power and spice. The colour is intense, dense purple garnet.
