Carignano
Carignano is a grape variety present in many countries bordering the Mediterranean basin. It is native to Spain, where it is known by the name of Cariñena and is widespread in the French regions of Languedoc and Roussillon. In Italy it is grown mainly in southern Sardinia, in particular in the Sulcis area, where it has found a perfect habitat on sandy soils near the sea, thanks to its preference for hot and dry climates. It produces intense, rich and complex wines, with dense tannins but of fine finesse.
