"This comes from a region about an hour southwest of Naoussa that had fallen off the wine map until Yannis Boutari (of Kir Yianni) lent a hand to his two friends (dio fili), Georgia Gkoutziamani and John Polyzou; they produced their first vintage in 2007. It’s intensely cherried, sour and bright, with tobacco scents and mastika spice that leave it feeling cool and fresh. While the tannins are serious, the supple fruit washes over them, leaving the length of the wine the main evidence that they exist. For kreatopita, a phyllo-crusted spiced meat pie."
