Rose Wine

"Akrani", means dear friend. It comes from the word "akranis" meaning companion, a word we rarely hear today, but found in akritic songs of the Dodecanese. The choice of this name replaces the original Triantafyllopoulou Vineyards. Their story begins in 1996 when they started planting international varieties on 17 acres at the foot of Mount Dikaios, in collaboration with Professor Dimitris Stavrakas. Their first wines were bottled in 2003, while in 2007, after a persistent struggle, they succeeded in having Kos join the Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) of Greece, thus shielding the island's winemaking identity.

Beautiful rose color with orange highlights. Aromas of ripe red fruits and sweet spices. In the mouth it has a mild sweetness that does not diminish. The aftertaste is long with beautiful and fine tannins despite being a rose wine. Enjoy it on its own, but I dare say it's a gastronomic semi-sweet rose. It will accompany wonderful Asian recipes with sweet and sour sauces, salads with sweet elements and even barbecues.

Ktima Akrani Dry Rose is another excellent label of the Triantaphyllopoulou winery on the island of Kos. 22-year-old plots, planted in the clay-stone red colors, at the foot of Mount Dikaios in Kos, will give special characteristics to the varieties Tempranillo, Mourverde and Grenache, which are the components of the label Ktima Akrani Dry Rose.

Delicate strawberry aromas enhanced by ripe red fruits and supported by a light floral note. Refreshing on the palate with fine, silky tannins accented by summer fruit and citrus aftertaste. Made to be enjoyed at the peak of its vibrancy and freshness, we recommend drinking within 2-3 years of the vintage date. Pair it with a light and crisp Caesar salad, recipes with shrimp, crayfish or even grilled white meats.

An approachable but serious rose wine, displaying great purity and typicity for the noble Tempranillo grape, in a lighter, more elegant style than most Spanish roses. Pale strawberry colour, with intense and fresh berry aromas over subtle floral notes. Excellent concentration and a slightly off-dry finish, beautifully balanced by crisp acidity and a refreshing, savory note. A perfect wine to enjoy all year round and an extremely versatile food wine with barbecue, pasta, rice dishes, vegetables and curries as well as fried or spicier dishes.

Light, fresh and bright, with aromas of raspberry, red currant and subtle notes of wild mint. Medium-bodied and well-structured, with flavors of ripe strawberry, blackberry and red cherry. Balanced and delicious rose.A versatile wine, excellent as an aperitif or with light summer meals, poultry or savory seafood dishes.

Beautiful and unique pale pink color with copper highlights. Piccini Pinot Grigio Blush is a light to medium bodied wine. Pink flowers combine beautifully with citrus and fruits such as peach. Its crisp acidity makes it a pleasant, refreshing and easy-drinking wine. Enjoy with appetizers, pasta dishes with light pink sauces, shrimp, fish and light barbecue.

Piccini Prosecco Rose is a sparkling rose wine with fine bubbles. This is a wine that is extremely fresh but also velvety on the palate with notes of ripe red berries and white flowers on the nose. Perfect and sparkling to enjoy on its own. Excellent as an aperitif but also with fatty fish, such as salmon or sushi. The more adventurous can also try it with a dessert based on red fruits like strawberries!

The harvest of this wine is mainly done during the night where the grape is picked quickly to avoid as much as possible getting wet with the skins. Its pale pink color is reminiscent of amaranth, while light fuchsia shades can be seen. The nose is of medium intensity with remarkable complexity while the presence of white fruit, peach, white flowers and some red fruit with tropical undertones is quickly apparent. Its taste is fresh and silky and its elegant acidity is balanced with a complex fruity memory and a certain softness due to aging on lees. This is a very pleasant wine that will keep you company!

The name RIRA has been mentioned since the old days for an area above the Neratzies of Aigio, high above the tourist resorts of Logos - Selianitika in the coastal zone of Aegialia. The estate, which has existed in its current boundaries since 1872, was cultivated with raisins in the old days. The philosophy of the winery is limited to the fact that very good wine must be accessible to everyone, without a sophisticated appearance, without unnecessary words, without an expensive price.
