Wines made from Carmenère grapes of Vino da Tavola
Discover the best wines made with Carmenère as a single variety or as a blend of Vino da Tavola.
Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
The freest category of Italian wine, with no grape or zone constraint. All styles: bold reds based on Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet, Merlot), atypical blends, maker's cuvées outside DOC rules. Historic cradle of the "Super Tuscans" in the 1960s-80s (Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia) before the creation of IGT in 1992. Today dedicated to everyday wines or winemaker experiments.
