Carignan (Carinena) is a red wine from Spain, known for its deep ruby color and robust, full-bodied taste. This wine has a rich aroma of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, with hints of spice and earthiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of ripe berries, black pepper, and a long, smooth finish. Carignan pairs perfectly with grilled meats, game, and hearty stews. Its bold, complex nature makes it a versatile wine that complements both casual and elegant dining experiences.
Cariñena, the Spanish name for Carignan, is believed to have originated in the region of Aragón, specifically in the town of Cariñena, from which it takes its name. It has been cultivated in Spain for centuries and was one of the most widely planted red grapes before the rise of Tempranillo.
