Wine in Dalamari, Naoussa

Kokkinos Winery ★ 3.8

Based in the Dalamari area of Naoussa, Kokkinos Winery bottles a Naoussa PDO Xinomavro alongside a wider PGI Imathia range that runs from a Xinomavro-Merlot red blend to Roditis and Malagousia whites.

Tip: The Petinos range is the entry point into the wider PGI Imathia bottlings if the PDO Xinomavro is sold out.

Kokkinos Winery ★ 3.8

Winemaker Stavros Kokkinos built a boutique winery in the Dalamari area, first bottling in 2009. He farms two Xinomavro parcels, Paliokalia planted in 1975 and Dalamari planted in 2004, aged in French oak.

Why locals love it: A one-man boutique operation, first bottled in 2009, working two small parcels planted a generation apart, with an underground cellar of French oak barrels few visitors hear about.

Tip: The underground cellar and tasting room sit right at the winery, so call ahead rather than expecting a walk-in visit like the larger estates.
