It brings colour to wines, with intense garnet tones and a light structure. Quite aromatic, it provides red and black fruit (cassis) notes, is lightly spiced, and has a vegetal character suggestive of bay leaves and undergrowth.
On the palate, the tannins of this characterful wine can be a little rustic when made from vines grown on rich soils, but they are never coarse.
As a rosé wine, Carcagholu Neru produces light bodied wines with notes of golden caramel and even some unusual hints of camphor.
