Garnacha Tinta Navarra

Origin: Spain, probably in Aragon (Calatayud / Campo de Borja)
Growing regions: About 160,000 ha (mainly Spain, France, Italy)
Also known as: Grenache noir (France), Garnatxa negra (Catalonia), Alicante, Cannonau (Sardinia)

Navarra long built its reputation on Garnacha rosé (Rosado de Navarra), but the variety also produces excellent reds in Navarra DOC. On the alluvial and limestone soils of Navarra, blended with Tempranillo and Cabernet, it yields generous reds. The colour is deep ruby garnet.
