Vineyard
The vineyards of the area are located on the sunny southeastern slopes of Vermio, sheltered from the cold north winds. Abundant rainfall and relatively cool climate play a beneficial role in plant growth and fruiting. The soils are clayey, calcareous ideal for the production of wines with a rich body.
Vinification – Maturation
Typical red wine vinification with a high level of compound extraction, essential for an aged wine. It is ageing for four years, two of which in French oak barrels (Allier, Nevers 225 lt).
Ηarmony
Ideal combination with spicy dishes with rich spices, such as wild boar in the hull, goat stuffed with rice and livers, pork roll with plums and nuts. Varieties of spicy cheeses, such as smoked Metsovone.
