A dry red table wine, made from the rare, indigenous Santorini variety Mavrotragano. It can be aged for at least 3-4 years. With its aroma of red fruit, rich and gentle tannins, it is the ideal companion for roast red meat, or meat casseroles, and cheese. Served at 18°C With notes of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir but an essence all its own, Mavrotragano might be Greece’s most interesting heirloom grape Bruce Schoenfeld investigates. "There’s no DNA information on Mavrotragano at all," says Mihalis Boutaris, an American-trained viticulturist and winemaker who works with the Kiryianni and the Boutari wineries on research and development. "Scientifically, all we can really say is that here is a red wine from Santorini. Beyond that, we don’t know."
