Κatogi Averoff Inima Negoska 750ml (2018), Red Dry Wine

Τasting Characteristics

Scarlet, with blackcurrant tinges. Aromatic on the nose, showing hints of red fruit, with raspberry and blueberry to the fore, combined with earthy notes. Youthful and full in the mouth, aromatic, elegant, with pleasant acidity, eloquent. A wine of fascinating personality and bold fruity aftertaste.
