In the local dialect, “xenolōo” refers to moderately famous grape varieties on the island. The “Xenolōo” brings together three native, early and rare varieties: mavrotragano and boudomato, complemented by a touch of athiri white grapes. This distinctive wine combines the delicate aromas of ripe red fruits and nuts with a cherry red color. The aromas become softer in the mouth, lending itself to a round tasting, with velvety tannins, well coated. He concludes with a long, slightly herbaceous finish.
