This grape variety is known in mainland Greece under various names, including Rapsani, and it is traditionally blended with Stavroto and Krassato to obtain a dense, full-bodied red wine. In other parts of the world, to convert its natural roughness, the variety is mixed with several international varieties such as Syrah and Merlot.

Xinomavro needs special care in cultivation, low yields per hectare, and favorable weather conditions to reveal itself in all its splendor. Xinomavro wines are usually ready for the market after at least two years of maturation and aging in oak barrels and glass. This grape's essence reveals distinct complex aromas of red fruits, flowers, tomatoes, olives, prunes, tobacco, and nuts.

This fascinating variety offers a strong wine, not very strong, and which reveals its complexity when accompanied by dishes with intense and rich aromas. We invite you to taste these notes in the new Cavalieri Xinomavro - barrel, rosé vinified - Evil Eye, in our combination with Syrah also rosé vinification - Black Sheep but also in red wine together with Merlot - King of Hearts.
