Kitma Foundi, Naoussa (Macedonia, Greece) Xinomavro 2017

Sep 17, 2024

By Miranda Franco

 Foundi, a small producer established in 1992, crafts just over 4,000 cases of wine annually.  Their 2017 Naoussa Xinomavro showcases a remarkable density of cherry and red currant fruit, complemented by mouth coating, fine-grained tannins, herbs, and spice.  With its structure, minerality, and vibrant acidity, it pairs well with roast lamb or aged sheep’s cheese.  Approachable now but poised to age beautifully.
