WINE DESCRIPTION

Lioco Sativa Carignan is a premium wine produced by Lioco, a renowned winery in California. This wine is made from Carignan grapes grown in the sandy soils of Mendocino County, which impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The vineyard is located in a cool climate region, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves minimal intervention, with natural fermentation and aging in neutral oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with bright acidity and flavors of red fruit, herbs, and spices. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods and is perfect for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Lioco Sativa Carignan is a bold and vibrant red wine with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and baking spices.On the palate, ripe red fruit flavors mingle with hints of clove and leather, leading to a long and spicy finish. The tannins are firm and gripping, and the acidity is bright and lively. This is an excellent example of Carignan with great structure, complexity, and balance.

ORIGINS

Winery: Lioco

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
