description: Xinomavro, meaning acid-black, is one of Greece's better indigenous reds and the only variety in Naoussa. It can make wines with firm acidity and jackhammer tannins, as in this example, which also shows a spicy nose of black pepper, coffee and red fruit. Flavors are a bit darker and sweeter, to match the heavy tannins, with black spicy fruit, coffee and a touch of chocolate. Will soften a bit with time.
variety: Xinomavro
