Originating in Aragon, Spain, and more recently finding notoriety in the Languedoc region of France, the monster Carignane clusters can weigh up to 300 grams or more, and berry size makes most grapes look like Pinot Noir in comparison. Therefore, to achieve a maximum density of flavors, the Carignane is subject to a much greater saignée than our other red wines, at 15 gallons per ton in 2019. This also has the added benefit of adding a great range of savory characteristics to the Pellegrini Rose. Additionally, Carignane is the only wine to receive regular pump-overs instead of punch-downs, to break as few skins as possible during production to help tame the sometimes-harsh tannins associated with the varietal. Wine was aged in medium and medium-plus French oak barrels, which is to complement and tame the structured tannins. These more meaty and sweet barrels help to balance the sizeable mouthfeel and tannin structure.
