Organic Wine Lacomatia Robola of Cephalonia 2018 – Sclavos Wines – 750ml

Organic Wine Lacomatia Robola of Cephalonia 2018 – Sclavos Wines – 750ml

Natural wine from Robola grapes from a single vineyard. Spontaneous fermentation wine and bottled without filtration, to keep the characteristics of the varietal intact. Rare wine produced in only 2,000 bottles. Excellent for fish dishes and white meat dishes. Wine that is recommended also for long ageing.

On the picturesque island of Cephalonia in Western Greece, near the town of Lixouri, Evriviadis Sclavos set up his winery with the mission to create not only a unique operation, but to elevate the local grape varietals (Robola, Vostilidi and Mavrodaphne) to a whole new level, not seen or tasted before. He has embraced organic, and biodynamic viticulture practices since the late 80’s. In addition, his low intervention practices translate to the use of only natural yeasts, no filtration or fining, and recently the addition of concrete tanks. Talking about wines with a sense of place, his are exactly that. Sclavos is meticulous, he has studied the soils and subsoils for decades, understands the relationship between soil and vine; he’s a true “terroirista”. Most of his vineyard in on rocky slopes, thus his famed, highly extracted Robola “Vino di Sasso” or wine of the stone. His ‘Metagitnion” white made by the local Vostilidi, is simply a huge wine, a blockbuster. Needless to say, these are intellectual wines, with a capacity to age
