Limnio (pronounced LIM-nee-oh) is one of Europe's oldest red grape varieties, mentioned by Homer and Aristophanes in the 5th century BC. Named after the island of Lemnos in the northern Aegean Sea, it has been cultivated there since ancient times and remains a symbol of Greece's wine-growing heritage. Limnio produces wines with a moderate color, red fruit aromas, and herbaceous notes, with medium body, silky tannins, and balanced acidity. Its robust, late-ripening vines thrive in northern Greece, producing elegant, accessible wines steeped in history.
