ASPROUDA OF SERRES 2022 - DOMAINE NERANTZI

Have you ever tasted Asprouda of Serres from Domaine Nerantzi? Most likely you haven’t since it is an extremely rare variety that has been saved and cultivated exclusively from Domaine Nerantzi in Pentapolis, Serres. Are you wondering if you should try it? Definitely yes, and to be accurate, you have already lost precious time!

Asprouda began its "career" in 1998 when it was originally identified as a local grape variety and its cultivation began. Αfter that, its story was glorious, since the humble Asprouda began to appear in the wine lists of the best restaurants in the world and it was greeted by a huge gush of awards and distinctions.

Evanthia Mitropoulou contributed to all of this and with her oenological studies in Burgundy, she created a new era for the wine of Serres and the local varieties. She learned about the terroir from the best, so she put all her “art” and knowledge to create a wine that completely reflects the microclimate of the area, Asprouda of Serres by Domaine Nerantzi. The lively and aromatic variety matured for 4 months in oak barrels of 500 liters. Remaining in the bottle for two years transformed Asprouda of Serres into an overwhelming wine, with a complexity that many French chateaux would envy, incredible balance and seductive aromas.

And if you do not believe us, you have the chance to find out yourself if you hurry and grab one of the few remaining bottles!
