Description
The Idaia GI Kotsifali-Mandilari
The GI Kotsifali-Mandilari presents itself dark red in the glass and rich and sweet on the nose. It evokes memories of overripe, slightly cooked berry fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate, vanilla, and wood tones. It is composed of 65% Kotsifali grape and 35% Mandilari grape.
On the palate, it additionally reveals ripe plums, cherries, pomegranates, coffee, sandalwood, and a bit later leather, earthy notes, mint, black pepper, ink, cedar, and glycerin, leading to a smoky, spicy finish with a fruit explosion.
