About this product
Kir-Yianni's flagship Naoussa, Ramnista is an old-vine Xinomavro of remarkable concentration and elegance. Named after the hamlet where the estate is located, it displays classic Xinomavro: dried tomato, rose, dried herbs, and earth with firm, refined tannin that rewards ten or more years of cellaring.
