It is definitely the perfect gift to show your love to your loved ones or your appreciation to your partners.
Tessera "4" Aivalis Winery is one of the most sought after, scarcest, and certainly one of the top Greek wines. Four ("Tessera" means "Four" in Greek), as many as the acres of the dry vineyard, with pre-phylloxera vines, in the area of Fliasio Field, where it comes from. Four, as many minutes as its endless aftertaste, lasts. Four, as many as the bottles you should have in your cellar to check its amazing evolution, every 5 years!
In a vineyard that has seen all the evolution of modern viticulture, from the farmer's horse and sweat, to the modern tractors, the vines of Agiorgitiko are over 150 years old (dowry of his grandmother's grandmother). "We like to harden our vines," says Christos Aivalis, and the extremely low acreage yield, which does not exceed 150 kg per acre, proves it. The vinification of the uniquely concentrated, precious juice is done in an open tank with very long extraction, for 45 days (that is how it acquires its black color and its dense structure). The wine is aged for 30 months in French oak barrels and then for 6 months in the bottle.
Christos Aivalis dared to take Agiorgitiko to the extremes and created a legendary wine that is compared to emblematic wines of the international vineyard.
At least one of the 970 bottles of Tessera "4" Aivalis Winery must be in your cellar!
