While Ignasi Domènech is mostly known for his superb Grenache (Garnatxa), this 100% Carignan (Carinyena/Samsó) from very old vines does not lag behind. Sourced from a single 0.74 ha. vineyard in Masroig with extremely low-yields (1700 bottles were filled in 2016), this is one of Montsant’s best examples of Carignan, a very hard, rustic variety traditionally used in bulk wines and blending. Warm, full-bodied, round and polished, lots of red fruit, balsamic notes, long finish.

Color cereza de capa media. Ribetes violáceos y algo más ocres por los lados. Bonito color.
En nariz fruta negra confitada, clavo, toques balsámicos. Toques dulces.
En boca notas de cacao, taninos medios altos, bien ensamblados. Buena acidez y buena persistencia. Algo yodado. Buen cuerpo.
