What to Expect

Carignane is a workhorse grape of France and Spain, its ancestral home, where it goes by Cariñena. It is getting renewed interest for its intense color, acid and tannins that it can add to a blend. It has been successful as a Rosé and is occasionally bottled on its own but it remains primarily a blending wine.

Rating: 89/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 06/09 This ripe wine offers aromas of tobacco, dried rose and cherries. For now, the flavors seem bound by sweetness rather than acidity, needing a few years to come together.

This isn't a bad Carignano but it isn't a great one either. Buio Buio costs twice as much as this here little brother and it tastes like it does too! No real aftertaste to speak of despite the fact that the first couple of "my goodness, this ain't bad" seconds leave you wanting and expecting more. You could do much much worse, but Buio (for now) isn't even approaching Terre Brune's levels of Carignano goodness!
