Garnacha Tinta

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)

The Garnacha tinta gives generous wines, warm, with bright fruits, with a supple and often alcoholic mouth. Little acidic, it seduces with its aromas of ripe red fruits, violet, sweet spices and garrigue. It's ideal for Mediterranean blends or solar cuvées to drink young or raised in oak barrels.
