Xinomavro, Stravroto & Krassato - Thessaly and Central Greece - Rapsani
Prezzo della bottiglia: 38 EUR
Els Bassots is a captivating skin-contact Chenin Blanc from Conca de Barberà. Made biodynamically at around 450 metres of altitude, the grapes benefit from a dry climate moderated by cool sea winds. They are harvested by hand and macerated on their skins for roughly ten days before fermenting with native yeasts in stainless steel. Afterward, the wine rests for about one year in neutral French oak barrels, without filtering or fining, and without added sulphites. This approach gives the wine a light golden hue, creamy texture, and bright citrus hints. Its lively acidity and subtle mineral notes linger on the palate, reflecting both the region’s clay-limestone soils and the winemaker’s gentle touch. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Els Bassots offers a distinctive Spanish take on a traditionally French grape, showing that Chenin Blanc can flourish beautifully under the Catalan sun.

Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.
