Imperial Carinvs


Suggestive name for a very suggestive wine. This wine comes from Cariñena, a traditional wine-producing region in Aragon, in the North East of Spain. Some years ago the wineries from the area started being aware of the quality, and became D.O. ( Denominación de origen ).
This is a high class wine is from Bodegas San Valero, whose efforts in improving the production are giving their results with surprising wines, which have a very competitive price. Being all wines with strong character, Imperial Carinvs is a great choice to deepen into these wines knowledge. The varieties of grapes used in this wine's elaboration are Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. There's also Carinvs, a younger and cheaper choice for an every-day meal.
Here you have some information taken from the web site of the winery.

Bright cherry red colour with aromas from ripe fruits and with spicy and balsamic hints. Rich in flavour in the palate, juicy and well structured, with ripe tannins and a long finish where oak and fruits combine perfectly. This wine has been aged for 14 months in new casks made of American and French oak (50% each), and its ageing has been completed in the bottle for 23 months.

Thank you for your comment, they're always welcome. The mistake has been corrected, we can't be perfect. However you should notice that it has been Jack the one who has written this entry, so you should call him Zaragozano, I'm afraid. Nobody is perfect.
