A Barolo with lovely glossy fruit, delicate floral notes reminiscent of rose blossoms and violets and a subtle minerality. The palate is well-rounded, with beautifully digested barrel and a freshness that pleasantly surprises. The fine, almost silky, tannins have excellent depth and length at the same time, leading to a persistent finish with a spicy,...
Dolcetto d’ Alba by the Vajra’s is produced by privately owned vineyards of the estate that are no more than 25 years of age. The extraction doesn’t go beyond fifteen days and the wine ages for a few months in stainless steel tanks before it is bottled in the beginning of the spring following harvest. This is a feast of black cherry and plum aromas that...
Use of whole bunches in fermentation which lasts a total of five weeks in oak winemakers and then follows maturation in 600 lt oak barrels for one year at a rate of 15% new barrel. It has that wonderful, spicy fruity texture that whole bunch vinification imparts. The palate is classically elegant and lively with mineral hints. Spices and minty freshness...

The red fruit excels, crystal clear, expressive along with some smoke, fresh acidity and...

And there, of course, the differentiation is faint since the philosophy is non-intrusive in both wines. However, in the case of Natural Roditis, the wine is not filtered at all and only minimal sulphites are added...
Zakynthino came from Zakynthos many years ago and is still cultivated in that part of Kefalonia that faces its birthplace. From the limestone soils of the Elios plateau, with organic farming and minimal interventions during traditional winemaking where the skins remain in contact with the juice for a long time, Evryviadis produces another great orange...
