LIOCO Carignan Sativa 2016 750 ML

Responsible for some of the most stunning old vine red wine on the planet, Carignan has an amazing capacity to survive dry, arid climates and still produce lovely, mouthwatering wine. In?Spain?it goes by the name of Mazuelo and while it may have originated there in the province of Arag?n (with Grenache), its popularity lies elsewhere. It spread across countries that border the Mediterranean Sea, becoming ubiquitous throughout the south of?France. Today it flourishes as a blending grape in the?Languedoc-Roussillon?and also growns in?Sardinia, mainland?Italy,?Turkey,?Cyprus,?Croatia?and Northern Africa. Likewise, producers in the New World?namely?California?and?Chile?bottle excellent single-varietal Carignan wines.
