As a red wine lover, there’s one red wine you might not know much about — Carignan.
Pronounced care-een-yawn, Carignan is a black-skinned wine grape variety. It’s thought to be native to the northeastern region of Spain that spans Aragon and Catalonia.

Carignan goes by a variety of names depending on where it’s from or where you’re drinking it. Some of the names you’ll likely come across include:
