The wine region of Florina
Greek PGI among the coolest and most mountainous in the country (Western Macedonia, up to 700 m), encompassing the Amynteon plateau. Xinomavro is the signature indigenous red: tannic and sharp with intense notes of dried tomato, black cherry, olive, herbs and a smoky-spicy touch, firm structure and superb ageing potential — often compared to Piedmontese Nebbiolo. Blended with Syrah or Merlot for rounder cuvées. Rosés show taut, acidic red fruits.
