Carignane
Carignane (in
American English;
Spanish Cariñena,
Italian Carignano,
French Carignan,
Catalan Carinyena) is a
Spanish variety of
grape that originated in
Cariñena, Aragon and was later transplanted to
Sardinia, elsewhere in
Italy,
France,
Algeria, and much of the New World.Carignane is responsible for huge quantities of mediocre or poor
wine; nevertheless, when it is grown on a slope, to lower the yield, as is done in Sardinia, or grown on very old, low-yielding vines, as in parts of
California, it can produce a wine with good body, color, and character with a characteristic harshness and astringency that diminishes with age. In California, the grape is not often used to make
varietal wines, but producers such as Ravenswood, Cline and Mayo Family Winery make notable varietals from old vines.
