Discover the best wines made with Xinomavro as a single variety or as a blend of Karditsa.
Structured, taut reds with a clear ruby robe that quickly evolves towards tawny, firm tannins and sharp high acidity (hence its name, xino-mavro = acid-black), with aromas of red cherry, sun-dried tomato, black olive, dried herbs, spice, leather and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential, often compared to Nebbiolo. Absolute star of Naoussa PDO in Greek Macedonia, also Amyndeo PDO. Very late-ripening autochthonous Greek variety.
PGI of western Thessaly (Pindus and Agrafa mountains), altitude vineyards with a continental climate and wide thermal swings. Limniona signature in red: intense ruby, vivid red fruits, herbs, soft spices and mineral touch, textured yet supple tannins, racy freshness. Mavro Mesenicola and Moschato Mavro as aromatic reds. Malagouzia in white: aromatic, stone fruits and tropical hints.
