Negroamaro 2021 by Karavitakis Winery is the wine that all the fine, Italian, red wines are jealous of because they cannot reach it! It's the wine you don't know yet, but believe us, YOU WANT IT! Put the kids to bed, hang up the phone and turn off Netflix. Things are getting serious: there are ONLY 540 bottles!
Negroamaro is the pride of Manolis Karavitakis and a personal bet that has been long since won. When everyone planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in Greece, Karavitakis planted Negroamaro and Sangiovese. Well, this man was and is, always a pioneer! His studies in Bologna left their mark, so Manolis Karavitakis loved Italian varieties almost as much as Cretan ones. He passed this love on to his son, Nikos, who has recently been at the helm of the winery and has been keeping experimenting with him.
The years passed and the vineyard with Negroamaro in Chania reached its best moment and gave its most concentrated and ripe fruit. The nectar with the deep, black-purple color (Negroamaro means black and bitter after all) matured in French oak barrels of 1st and 2nd use for 12 months. And now, it's ready and it's good, very good. So good that surely the 540 bottles will disappear rapidly and you will be calling us, sending emails, asking us if we can find you another unicorn bottle. You already know the answer so don't say we didn't warn you…
If you have to try a single Greek wine from an international variety in your life, it is Negroamaro 2021 of Karavitakis Winery!
