Marinos Skolarikos 8th December 2024

We present today in Allwinestories one of the most sensational wines of the Greek wine industry. The Perpetuus wine with perpetual timelessness. The Nico Lazaridi winery has married the ancient 60% Mavroudi variety, which has its roots in Macedonia and Thrace, with the cosmopolitan and noble Cabernet Franc 40% and the result is a truly great wine to taste in your glass.
