Garnacha Tinta
Garnacha Tinta is a red grape known as Grenache in France and Cannonau in Sardinia. Rauscedo describes substantial variation in vine vigour and bunch form.
Identity and growing conditions
The nursery describes a rounded, three-lobed leaf with an open lyre-shaped petiolar sinus. The compact, winged bunch bears medium elliptical blue-violet berries; the description must be tied to representative plant material.
Wine styles and uses
Warm sites and management of vigour matter in the profile. The grape can contribute to red and rosé wines, with sugar accumulation and acid balance affected by growing conditions. Nursery clone descriptions should not be applied to every accession.
