    Winemaker Notes

    The flavor can be characterized as quite deep for "xinomavro" standards. Thick aromas of red fruit, black cherry, tomato, vanilla and pepper, cocoa powder and light leather contribute to the final synthesis. Full mouth with a good structure and a typical balance of acidity, embodied tannins in a combination that both preserve tradition and at the same time develops Naoussa wines in terms of complexity.

    Diamantakos, Greece

    This pocket-sized estate is now in its third generation, but has only sold its own label for fifteen years. Young Giorgios Diamantakos is well-trained and ambitious and offers what are arguably the most dramatic wines we offer from this region. Total production averages 1000 cases!

    Native to Greece, Xinomavro is widely regarded the finest red wine of the country. Its name literally means “acid black”, and attains fullest potential in the country’s northwest region of Naoussa. These single varietal bottlings of Xinomavro (blending is not allowed here) are often compared to the fine Barolos of Italy for their structure, finesse and age-worthiness. While its vines are fickle and blue-black grapes grow in tight clusters, similar to Nebbiolo, Xinomavro actually appears unrelated. Somm Secret—The use of French oak can help tame Xinomavro but too much can overwhelm it. Some eschew oak entirely during winemaking; other producers use locally-grown walnut.

    Naoussa is home to one of Greece’s most age-worthy reds: Xinomavro. Flourishing on the sun-exposed, southeastern-facing slopes of Mount Vermio between 700 to 1,700 feet in elevation, some say Xinomavro is Greece's red counterpart to its famous white, Assyrtiko. Others liken it to Italy's well-respected, highly perfumed and powerful, Nebbiolo.
