Light red color wine with some fruity flavour and light wild notes. Light body with dry finish. Very much align to nature wine with no tannin and very much focus on the fruits.

It’s incredible to see how bad this wine got. I haven’t tried the whole range of Testalonga for a few years so I can’t judge the progression of the winemaking style much, but this Carignan was damn horrible. Pale ruby in the glass. VA blasts off on the nose with no sign of it blowing off (drank this over the course of 4 hours). Same situation on the palate. If you like drinking pickle juice, this wine is perfect for you.

Pale cloudy ruby. Juicy light red aromas. Maybe stems? Red berries, oxidative, light sour funky notes.
Light body, high acidity. Natural berry driven wine with light funkiness. Acidity is elevated like in Moravian wines, but here the body has bit more weight into it.
Light bodied, see-through red. Lots of berry and cherry. Smooth, delicious, not much acid. Didn’t pair it with anything. Was lovely in the garden on a nice summer day. Went down very easily.
