'''Carignan''' is a red [[wine grape]] variety that originates from [[Spain]] and is now extensively grown in the [[Languedoc-Roussillon]] region of [[France]]. It is known for its high yield and the deep color it imparts to wines.

== History ==

The origins of Carignan can be traced back to the [[Aragon]] region of Spain. It was later brought to France where it was widely planted throughout the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The grape variety is believed to have been named after the Spanish town of [[Carinena]], where it was first cultivated.

== Characteristics ==

Carignan is a late budding and late ripening variety, which makes it suitable for warmer climates. The grape has a naturally high acidity and tannin content, which can result in wines with a robust structure and deep color. However, Carignan wines can also be high in alcohol and may lack finesse if not properly managed in the vineyard and winery.

== Viticulture ==

Carignan is a high yielding grape variety, which can lead to a dilution of flavor if yields are not controlled. The grape is resistant to drought, but is susceptible to various grape diseases such as [[powdery mildew]] and [[botrytis]].

== Wine Styles ==

Carignan is often used in blends with other grape varieties such as [[Grenache]], [[Syrah]] and [[Mourvedre]] to add color and structure to the wine. However, when yields are controlled and the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, Carignan can produce varietal wines with deep color, robust structure and flavors of dark fruit, spice and earth.

== Regions ==

While Carignan is most widely grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, it is also found in other wine regions around the world including Spain, [[Italy]], [[Israel]], [[Chile]], and [[California]] in the United States.

== Food Pairing ==

Carignan wines pair well with a variety of foods due to their high acidity and tannin content. They are particularly well suited to dishes with red meat, game, and strong cheeses.
