Powerful, tannic reds with deep colour and tight structure, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, leather, tobacco, coffee and balsamic-volcanic mineral notes. High acidity and very fine ageing potential, often compared to nebbiolo. Star of Taurasi DOCG in Campania and Aglianico del Vulture DOCG in Basilicata (vines planted on volcanic soils). Late-ripening southern Italian variety of probable ancient Greek origin.

Historic cradle of Chilean viticulture (16th century). Quality revival around old-vine Carignan (70+ years): dense, deep reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, spices and fine tannins, a unique expression. Sturdy Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Carménère (ripe pepper, black fruits), juicy Côt (Malbec), round Merlot. Some sharp Sauvignon Blanc.
