Carignane – Spanish Roots, Easy Choice

About Carignane

Petit Verdot 是源自波尔多的古老葡萄品种，甚至比它著名的邻居——加本利·苏伟翁（赤霞珠）更加古老。这是一种非常有趣的葡萄，拥有漫长的历史。

佳利酿葡萄，源自西班牙北部的阿若根，在法国以及其他葡萄产区都十分流行，但是在美国，就不那么出名。

佳利酿葡萄从西班牙传到阿尔及利亚，再从阿尔及利亚出口到法国。当1962年，阿尔及利亚宣布独立之后，他们切断了全部通往法国的航线。佳利酿葡萄无法供应给法国，法国人开始自己种植这种葡萄。由于该葡萄种植的太广泛，生长势头很猛，以至于2000年的时候，欧盟颁布了种植限制令。就像其他品种的葡萄，佳利酿葡萄在其他国家都产生了新的品种，比如加利福尼亚，智利和澳大利亚。

佳利酿葡萄被用来和Grenache、西拉子混合在一起，增加葡萄酒的颜色，增浓果味和增重酒体。如果在适宜的天气下，佳利酿葡萄可以产出非常优雅、复杂的葡萄酒。这种红葡萄酒与烤肉、香肠、鸡肉搭配，口感非常和谐。

Originating in Bordeaux, Petit Verdot is an old grape, dating back before even its more famous neighbor, Cabernet Sauvignon. It is an interesting red wine grape with a long history that’s marked with triumph.

The Carignane grape, with roots from Aragon, Spain, is widely-popular throughout France and other wine-producing regions, but in the US it’s a much less familiar varietal.

From Spain, Carignane spread in popularity to Algeria, where it was also exported to France. When Algeria declared independence in 1962, they cut off all shipping to France. Left with an appreciation for Carignane but no supply, France began to grow the grape on their own. They grew so much that the European Union actually put restrictions on its growth in the year 2000. As with many other wine grapes, the Carignane grape found new roots in other countries as well, such as California, Chile and Australia.

Carignane has been used in blends with such varietals as Grenache and Syrah to add body, color and fruitiness. Though given the right climate Carignane can produce a very elegant, complex wine all on its own. This red pairs best with grilled meats, sausage and chicken.
