Diagon Vertzami Cuvée Spéciale from Markoyanni Winery is a very impressive wine. Its ruby color that almost paints the glass and the rich concentration of its fruit, has left us speechless. Its new bottling has spent even more time in the barrel and its complexity cannot be defined!
Diagon Vertzami Cuve Speciale is a very special wine from the rare variety Vertzami, from Lefkada island. According to many, it is very difficult to handle variety with enough acidity, tannins, and very, very intense color (it is one of the most colorful varieties in Greece). With mastery in winemaking, however, it can produce truly impressive wines. And Diagon Vertzami Cuve Speciale from Markoyanni Winery is one such.
The concentrated juice, after fermentation, is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, long enough to tame the tannins and its beastly character. The wine is bottled unfiltered and the result is extremely charming and balanced.
Now you should make it yours because, in a few years, it will belong to the pantheon of the top Greek wines and will be a collector's item...
