The wine region of Lefkada
PGI on the Ionian island of Lefkada (2000), limestone soils and a windy maritime climate, terraced vineyards. Vertzami is the autochthonous red king (~90% of plantings): near-black robe of rare intensity, full-bodied and structured with blackberry, black cherry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and a peppery note, firm tannins and ageing potential. Endemic Vardea is the fresh white king with citrus, apple and a floral touch, perfect with grilled fish.
The wine region of Ionian Islands
Greek PGI of the Ionian Sea islands (Corfu, Cephalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Lefkada, Kythira), temperate maritime climate. Robola of Cephalonia is the indigenous signature white — taut and mineral with bright citrus, lemon, green apple, white flowers and a flint-saline note from limestone altitude (Mount Ainos), brilliant acidity. Golden Muscat and Mavrodaphne as sweet fortified historical cuvées. Rare indigenous Vostilidi, Tsaousi and Zakynthino as complements.
The word of the wine: Mouth
The mouth is the third stage of wine tasting after the eye and nose. In the mouth, the taster identifies the aromas through the retronasal route, the flavours and the texture. It is in the mouth that the overall balance of the wine is apprehended.
