Discover the grape variety: Xinomavro
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.

The word of the wine: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
