Wine Details
Viticulture: Eco-oriented
Vinification: Grapes are sourced from contract growers of Naousa, Amyndeo & Rapsani, from vineyards of 45-80 years old. Hands-off winemaking following old traditional techniques combined with today’s know-how. The vilification takes place in clay amphorae and a concrete tank while the slow fermentation is accompanied by a controlled extraction. 6 months of aging in amphorae and large old barrels. Bottled unfiltered. No sulfites added.
Service temperature: 12-15°C
Pairings: poultry, guinea fowl with cranberries, plain steak, pan-fried foie gras, pâté, spaghetti alla guanciale, very cheese friendly
