Carignan
The most widely-planted red wine grape in France is Carignan (sometimes spelled Carignane in the US, a.k.a. Carginano in Italy and Cariñena or Mazeulo in Spain).
Carignan is believed to have originated in Spain in the Aragon region and was historically a component of neighboring Rioja's red wine blend. From Spain it gained prominence in Algeria and fed that country's export production to France.
