DESCRIPTION:
A very full bodied and concentrated Carignano with a long term aging ability. It is made using fruit from ancient vines with a really low (by hectare) yield. Deep red ruby in color, with powerful aromas and flavours full of mature red fruit and spices. Very elegant wine but austere, like the land where it comes from.
