Diagon 2018 by Markogianni Winery initially impressed us with its intense, ruby color that almost paints the glass. And then we tasted it. And we were left speechless. Do you want concentration? It's there! Do you want fruit? It has plenty. Do you want complexity? It’s the king of complexity. Basically, it pretty much has everything that you may possibly think of!
But let's get a little more specific. Diagon 2018 is a very special wine from the rare variety of Lefkada, called Vertzami. It is considered to be a very luscious variety with a lot of acidity, tannins and a very intense color (it is probably the most dying variety in Greece). With proper vinification, however, it can give really impressive wines. And Diagon 2018 from Markogianni Winery is that kind of wine. The concentrated juice, after fermentation, matures in French oak barrels for 17 months, so the tannins and its ferocious character mellow. The result is extremely charming and balanced.
Make it yours now because something tells us that in a few years it will belong to the pantheon with the top Greek wines and will be a collectible piece...
