#Carignan (Carinyena or Samsó in Catalonia) is an #autochthonous, very old Spanish variety that starts its journey in Aragon / Catalonia and becomes wildly adopted throughout the Med.

Fast forward several centuries later and its cultivation is so endemic that vignerons are actively encouraged to please plant something else under the EU “vine pull scheme” regulations.

Which brings me to this potent 100% organic Carinyena of 2020 made by Celler Aixalà Alcait, which smells older than it tastes with its tertiary hints of stewed cherries, fresh tobacco, recently vacated leather sofa + dry-cured ham left behind on a plate.

On the palate perhaps not quite there yet although it would make a happy pairing it with something roasted and dripping in fat. It really needs to hide in a cellar for the next four years to reach its full potential.
