The Katogi Averoff Rosé is a monovarietal off-dry rosé wine crafted from 100% Xinomavro in the Metsovo region (PGI Macedonia).
- Appearance: Bright rose/pink.
- Aromas: Intense aromas of strawberry, cherry and raspberry, with subtle hints of caramel.
- Palate: Refreshing, with vibrant acidity that perfectly balances its fruity flavor.
- Vinification: The production process involves destemming, crushing and skin contact (maceration) at very low temperatures for approximately 30 hours, alongside pomace wetting. This is followed by separation from the skins and clarification of the must. Alcoholic fermentation begins immediately, with temperatures strictly maintained below 14ºC. Fermentation is halted using intense cooling when residual sugars reach 12 grams per liter, creating its characteristic off-dry style.
It pairs perfectly with white meats, pasta, dishes dominated by tomato sauce and Greek cuisine. It also complements sweet-and-sour or spicy flavors and fresh fruits. It is excellent as an aperitif. Best served at 10°C - 12°C.
