Xinomavro (Greek: Ξινόμαυρο, English translation: "sour black") is the principal red wine grape of the uplands of Naousa in the regional unit of Imathia, and around Amyntaio, in Northern Greece.[1] This grape is primarily cultivated in Naousa, Goumenissa, Amyntaio, Rapsani, Trikomo, Siatista, Velventos, and, on a lesser scale, on Mount Athos, at Ossa, Ioannina, Magnesia, Kastoria and Trikala. The total cultivated area is about 18 km².
Wine regions
In Goumenissa the grape is often blended with Negoska to produce very fruity wines with high alcohol levels.[2]
