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.

Kompos is a rose version from Liatiko. For the ultimate expression of elegance, Nikos chose to let Liatiko speak on its own, with a very short maceration period and a three-month maturation with lees contact. The result has elegant color and impressive fruit purity, dressed with discreet floral notes and toffee touches! Just perfect!

For the supreme expression of elegance, Nikos chose not to load Liatiko with many things but preferred to ferment it in oak barrels of 500 liters and then transfer it to stainless steel tanks where it matured for 6 months. The result has an impressive fruit purity, dressed with discreet sweet, spicy notes and botanical touches! Sublime!
