WHAT DOES THIS WINE TELL US?
“Xi-Ro” is a red wine named after the local Ximonavro and Roditis varieties that are handcrafted by Ktima Ligas in Greek Macedonia. The nose reveals notes of dark spices, small red fruits, briny accents, touches of smoke and incense with underbrush nuances. On the palate, it is intense, rich and deep, with a freshness and a juicy and agile taste.

Where this wine come from?
The vineyards are located in the valleys of Mount Paiko 50 km from Thessaloniki, Macedonia, in northern Greece. The gentle slopes of Pella are well sunny and kissed by the winds. The soil on which the vines grow consists of a calcareous and sometimes clayey soil where all the nutrients the plants need for a harmonious development are developed. In the vineyards, the Ligas family use the permaculture approach. Thomas, Jason and Melissanthe Ligas closely follow the evolution of the vines in order to keep them in an ideal condition to ensure a perfect balance between quality and quantity.
