Why do we love it?
Vlahiko is the red jewel of Epirus and Vlahiko by Zoinos Winery is an amazing expression of the local variety, with fantastic value for money ratio!
Zoinos Winery is the cooperative of the winemakers of Zitsa and counts many years of life as it started its course in 1954. Wines of Zitsa have been declared PDO since 1972 and they have been experiencing a rising course since then. Vlahiko is, along with Bekari, one of the most important varieties of the region. Vlachiko by Zoinos Winery is fermented in stainless steel tanks and then transported to French and American oak barrels, where it matures for about 12 months. The touch of the oak barrel enhances the spicy character of the variety and adds unique complexity.
Enjoy Zoinos's Vlahiko with juicy meats for a complete wine experience!
