Schioppettino – Limnio Hatzimichalis Estate
€19,90
Schioppettino – Limnio by Domaine Hatzimichalis is a dry red wine PGI Atalanti Valley, bringing together a rare Italian variety with one of the most ancient Greek ones. Schioppettino brings aromatic intensity, red fruit and spicy detail, while Limnio gives a more earthy, Greek feel and elegant structure.
The two varieties come from selected vineyard sites of Domaine Hatzimichalis in Atalanti Valley, with low yields. Each variety is vinified separately in stainless steel tanks and the wine does not pass through oak, in order to preserve its fruity, fresh and softer character.
In the glass, it brings ripe red fruit, cranberry, red cherry, red blackberry, violet, herbs and sweet spices. On the palate, it is juicy, fresh and balanced, with light body, gentle tannins, fresh acidity and a long fruity finish.
It pairs very well with pork roll, caramelised pork belly with roasted vegetables, beef with quince, stifado, duck with orange, grilled tuna with a light sweet sauce and pizza. It is a different red wine, lighter and more versatile, that can also be served slightly chilled.
