VELLS, old Carignans of the Masroig, grown in red clay soils. Fast ripening process that shows a pleasurable and authentic view of the variety. Vibrant tannins with an absence of reduction. Aromas of violets, modeled over clays of very close earthiness. A classic that until the present time had not existed as such.
