Tsikrikonis
Tsikrikonis Celini Kavala, Greece 2018 Xinomavro
The Tsikrikoni vineyard lies just 3 kilometers from the Aegean Sea under Mount Symbolos. The right humidity from the sea during the day and the mild winds of the mountain range during the night create the ideal climate for the vineyard.
Xinomavro ages very well and is the Greek equivalent of Nebbiolo. It has the same characteristics in that, despite having high levels of tannins, this is well balanced by its sharp acidity. The result is a very drinkable light red.
Great structure and acidity with juicy redcurrants and plums.
Tasting notes: redcurrants, plums, olive
Pairing: mature and hard cheeses, veal, beef
Similar to: Nebbiolo
