Dry Red
PGI: Velvento Kozani
Varietal composition: Xinomavro, (Velvento Kozani clone)
Amelonas¨The grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude of 400 meters, between the Pierian Mountains and Lake Polyphytos. The altitude combined with the excellent microclimate provide ideal conditions for slow and perfect ripening of the grapes. The combination of variety and terroir is unique.
Winemaking We cultivate the Xinomavro Velvento with love and special care to give us the best result. We closely monitor the ripening of the fruit and at the right time the grapes are picked by hand and undergo strict sorting. Then we take only the prorogos to ensure the best quality of tannins and the elegance of the wine. The wine ferments in stainless steel tanks, at controlled temperatures, and then matures in Balkan oak barrels for 12 months. After bottling, the wine ages for a few months in the bottle so that it reaches your glasses complete and enjoyable.
Tasting characteristics It has a light ruby color with greenish highlights, typical of the variety, and a rich, lively nose. Aromas of cherry, sour cherry, cranberry and strawberry mingle with notes of tomato, olive and oak. It has a medium body, high acidity and moderate but noticeable, juicy tannins. In the mouth, the fresh juicy red fruit meets the botanical notes and the aromas of the barrel. Before tasting it, let it breathe for 15 minutes.
It is suitable for long aging.
