Aigialeia "hides" so many unexplored wine treasures that are a field of glory for wineries such as Tetramythos that are based on this philosophy of discovering the varietal wealth of their region. Mavri Volitsa is another of those unexplored local varieties that was found to coexist with other varieties in local vineyards at the altitudes of the region.

The magical terroir of Aigialeia once again "signs" the character of wine.

Each sip is a reminder of the rare viticultural heritage and unique terroir of Aigialeia. Ideally enjoy it chilled
