The oldest Greek variety, Limnio, has been aged for 6 months in oak barrels with the application of innovative vinification methods. This micro-oxygenation process creates a wine with mild aromas of berries, with the aromas of oak in the background. Its color is crimson, with aromas such as black cherry, pomegranate, and notes of pepper and curry, as well as dark chocolate. With a robust taste, pleasant acidity, and well-integrated tannins. Full-bodied, but elegant at the same time, it displays a long-lasting peppery aftertaste.
