"Kir-Yianni's" main focus is on the authentic indigenous Xinomavro (pronounced: ksee-no-mav-ro) grape variety. Due to its pale color, strong tannins, high acidity, and complex aromas of tomato leaves, olives, cherries, and spices, this variety is often compared to the famous Italian Piedmont Nebbiolo (Barolo) wine. The estate masterfully combines ancient traditions with modern equipment, creating wines that are both highly authentic and accessible to the modern consumer.
Xinomavro grown in the Naoussa region features a firm structure, powerful tannins, and immense aging potential. Meanwhile, in the higher altitudes of Amyndeon, where the climate is cooler, this variety is used to craft more elegant, fresher red wines and excellent sparkling wines.
The structured and acidic wines of "Kir-Yianni" are built for food. They perfectly complement charcoal-grilled lamb, beef stews with tomato sauce, and traditional Greek dishes (like moussaka). For lighter evenings and home tastings, pair them with various spreads or olives from our wine snacks section.
Does Xinomavro wine need to be decanted?
Yes, we recommend decanting it for at least 1–2 hours to soften the tannins and reveal its full aromatic complexity.
Who is this beverage best gifted to?
It is an intellectual and interesting gift for wine enthusiasts looking to expand their horizons and discover new, less mass-market wine regions like Greece.
