The flagship red grape variety of Armenia and Vayots Dzor region in particular, Areni noir has an extraordinary ability to express the soil and microclimate in which it is growing resulting in a massive spectrum of wine styles. Areni noir is usually expressing genuine intense aromatics of ripe black currant, black cherry and cinnamon that can be beautifully complemented by elegant flavors of vanilla, tobacco and chocolate if the wines are aged in oak barrels. The vibrant acidity and silky texture of its tannins grant the wines made of Areni a tremendous potential for ageing.
