Mangata Mavroudi 2021 Red Wine
Mangata Mavroudi Kontogiannis Winery offers a delightful red wine that combines fruity flavors with a smooth, velvety texture. What makes this wine truly special is its minimalist approach, allowing the natural characteristics of the grape variety to shine through.
The Kontogiannis family established their winery as a way to reconnect with nature and embrace a more pure way of life. Michalis Kontogiannis, leaving behind the bustling city of Athens and a career in journalism, took on the responsibility of managing the family's estates in the village of Penteskoufi, Corinth. Since 1999, they have practiced organic farming, and in 2006, they began employing biodynamic methods. The estate primarily focuses on cultivating olive trees and grapevines, which produce both petimezi (a traditional grape syrup) and exquisite wines. Among their impressive wine collection is Mangata Mavroudi, featuring a label reminiscent of a work of art. Mavroudi of the Peloponnese, a grape variety closely related to Agiorgitiko, showcases enticing aromas of red fruits, velvety tannins, and hints of sweet spices.
Mangata Mavroudi Kontogiannis Winery takes great care in the vinification process, employing gentle techniques that allow the wine to retain its vibrant fruit flavors and refreshing acidity, effectively expressing the unique characteristics of the grape variety and the terroir.
