Negroamaro is the pride of Manolis Karavitakis and a personal bet that has been long since won. When everyone planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay in Greece, Karavitakis planted Negroamaro and Sangiovese. Well, this man was and is, always a pioneer! His studies in Bologna left their mark, so Manolis Karavitakis loved Italian varieties almost as much as Cretan ones. He passed this love on to his son, Nikos, who has recently been at the helm of the winery and has been keeping experimenting with him.The years passed and the vineyard with Negroamaro in Chania reached its best moment and gave its most concentrated and ripe fruit. The nectar with the deep, black-purple color (Negroamaro means black and bitter after all) matured in French oak barrels of 1st and 2nd use for 12 months. And now, it's ready and it's good, very good. So good that surely the 540 bottles will disappear rapidly and you will be calling us, sending emails, asking us if we can find you another unicorn bottle. You already know the answer so don't say we didn't warn you…
