Karasì, is a tribute to the 6100 year wine tradition of Armenia. Aged in traditional amphorae, hence its name, ‘from amphorae’ in Armenian, this wine embraces the living heritage of a country while at the same time it delves back into a long forgotten chapter in the ancient history of wine.
GRAPE VARIETY – ARENI
Possibly one of the oldest grape varieties in the world Areni has been present in Armenia for millennia. Never grafted and on its own roots it is 100% indigenous to this land &with a unique DNA profile that does not match any other. Extremely resistant to disease and with a very thick skin Areni Noir has developed the unique capacity to adapt perfectly to the extreme climate of Vayotz Dzor, its natural habitat.
Full with energy, bright and vertical in the mouth with subtle spice. Soft red fruits are interwoven with earthiness and herbaceous characters on the palate. Vibrant chalky tannins, a touch of graphite and a long evolved mineral finish.
