Ktima Karipidis is located in Vounaina, Larissa. Vounaina means small mountains and this topography is of particular importance for viticulture. Sangiovese vines were planted in 1985 and 35 years later bear their best fruit. For Rilancio Sangiovese, the wine ferments and matures in oak barrels for 2 years. After that, it is bottled and left to mature in the winery’s cellar until today. The reason for this was that Rilancio Sangiovese was a special bottling intended for abroad. However, they decided to keep some bottles in the winery to see the evolution of the wine. This year, when they tried it, they were so impressed that they decided to do us a favor and release them in the Greek market!

We are talking about a handful of bottles so if you want to try Rilancio Sangiovese 2007 Ktima Karipidis you have to hurry!
