In the heart of Aragon, where winemaking tradition intertwines with innovation, Cariñena has been chosen as the European City of Wine 2025. This recognition, awarded by the European Network of Wine Cities (RECEVIN), not only celebrates the region’s rich oenological heritage but also opens up a range of opportunities for the European market. In addition, this designation reinforces the effort to promote wine tourism and strengthen the region’s connection with international markets, further elevating the importance of its wines.

Cariñena: A winemaking legacy that transcends borders

Cariñena, with its appellation of origin, is a land where each vineyard tells a story of passion and dedication. The combination of stony soils, an extreme continental climate, and the influence of the “scherzo” wind gives its wines a unique personality, recognized and appreciated in international markets.
