Descrizione

Rapsodia - Ekfraseis è un vino che cattura immediatamente l'essenza della Grecia con la sua complessità e profondità, offrendo un'esperienza sensoriale unica. Prodotto nella regione di Nemea, nota per i suoi terreni ricchi e il microclima ideale per la viticoltura, questo vino si distingue per la sua qualità e finezza.

Al naso, Rapsodia - Ekfraseis rivela una sinfonia armoniosa di aromi fruttati e floreali. Note di ciliegie mature, amarene e frutti di bosco dominano inizialmente, seguite da eleganti sfumature di violette e un tocco di spezie dolci. Il bouquet olfattivo è arricchito da lievi sentori di vaniglia e cioccolato, derivati dall'affinamento in barrique di rovere francese.

Al palato, questo vino mostra una struttura ben equilibrata e una grande profondità. I tannini sono vellutati e perfettamente integrati, accompagnati da un'acidità vivace che dona freschezza e longevità. Il finale è lungo e persistente, con un retrogusto che richiama le note fruttate e speziate percepite al naso.

Rapsodia - Ekfraseis si abbina magnificamente a piatti di carne rossa, cacciagione e formaggi stagionati, esaltando i sapori e offrendo un'esperienza culinaria completa. Questo vino rappresenta l'espressione dell'arte enologica greca, perfetto per chi desidera esplorare territori vinicoli meno conosciuti ma eccezionalmente promettenti.

Winery history

Ekfraseis was founded by winemaker Christos Vassiliades and is based in the village of Chandria, in the Limassol district. The official website states that the winery began as the winemaker’s personal project and has developed into a modern, well-equipped facility designed to enhance the grapes from the area’s high-altitude vineyards.

Production philosophy

The winery emphasizes the expression of its mountain terroir: respect for nature, careful attention to the quality of grapes from high-altitude vineyards, and a creative approach to winemaking that alternates classic methods with the winemaker’s experimentation. Limited productions and numbered collections dedicated to distinctive wines are part of its output.
