Tasting notes Born on the volcanic soil of Santorini, Mavrotragano is a rare indigenous red variety that offers wines of sheer individuality. Vibrant ruby red color. Exuberant nose with red and black fruits like cherries and berries with notes of vanilla and tobacco. The generous and structured palate with soft tannins shows excellent ageing potential.
