The Macedonian wine appellation, located in northern Greece, is a wine region rich in history and tradition. This unique location, influenced by the Aegean Sea and protected by the surrounding mountains, offers an exceptional terroir ideal for viticulture. Macedonia is primarily known for its robust red wines made from the indigenous Xinomavro grape, often compared to Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo for its aging potential and complex profile. These wines are characterized by aromas of red fruits, dried tomato, black olive, and spices, pairing perfectly with Mediterranean dishes. Besides Xinomavro, the region is also renowned for its fresh and aromatic white wines made from the Malagousia and Assyrtiko grapes, offering notes of citrus and white flowers. Thanks to a temperate climate and meticulous viticulture, Macedonian wines captivate with their balance and depth. This richness of taste and diversity makes Macedonia an essential region for wine enthusiasts eager to explore the generous and distinctive flavors of Greece.
