2020 GLINAVOS VLAHIKO RED IOANNINA

2020 GLINAVOS "VLAHIKO" RED IOANNINA, GREECE. Vlahiko and Bekari.

From the winemaker: "Deep purple. The aromas of red and black fruits such as blackberry, black cherry and plum are predominant while freshly cut mushroom and spicy elements complete the complex aromatic profile. The robust tannins and its fresh acidity show that it is a wine with great aging potential. The abundant black fruit, the spicy spices vigorously create an explosive bouquet in the mouth."

About: They believe that each wine should tell a story. The story of its variety, its production, its maturation and the story of the rains, the burning sun and the land it grows on. The blessed and famous land of Zitsa in Ioannina gives us some of the best Greek wines. For this reason, we chose to walk the less frequented path, the one of keeping the tradition and of harmonic collaboration with modern technology. From collecting grapes by hand until the discreet but essential use of modern technology, we combine the best elements of both worlds.

They made a choice to cultivate rare varieties forgotten long ago, to experiment and continuously test new techniques for the production of wine solely from these varieties but also combining them with established Greek and non-Greek varieties, aiming to create recognizable high quality wines.

Their inspiration and their primary objective were and still remain the creation of individual and identifiable high quality wines. Following the same philosophy in our own internationally award-winning winery, we create our most beloved spirit of Epirus. The tsipouro - Greek distilled spirit produced both in its classic type and oak- aged type made by the famous local white grape variety Debina.

Today, the welcoming acceptance of our wines and spirits in Greece and abroad as well as the ongoing trust from their customers allows them to continue their wine journey in this most challenging and exciting path. A path which is laid with passion and love for mother earth.
