Optimum Mantinea, Novus Winery 750ml

Novus Winery’s Optimum Mantinia stands out for its gray hues and golden highlights. The nose is dominated by the characteristic aromas of rose and bergamot typical of the Moschofilero grape. At the same time, aging in acacia barrels and concrete tanks adds complexity, clarity, and subtle notes of white fruits and citrus. On the palate, it offers a creamy texture, refreshing acidity, and excellent balance. The body is medium to full, while the finish is long-lasting and highlights the variety’s distinctive character. It pairs perfectly with large, fatty grilled fish, seafood carpaccio, lemon-roasted goat, and Asian cuisine. It also pairs well with dishes that combine sweet and acidic flavors.
