A Priori Mantineia White

NOVUS WINERYMANTINIA

The winery’s flagship from the charismatic reddish Moschofilero grape variety, which has been fully adapted to the climate and soil conditions of the cold P.D.O. Mantinia plateau.

Andromachi’s Tasting Notes

Distinctive lemon colour with gray highlights, characteristic of the variety's reddish skin. Intense aromas of citrus fruits and Turkish delight, with tangerine peel completing the aromatic palette. Balanced mouth with structure, crisp acidity, freshness and elegant long aftertaste.
