Agianniotiko
The red wine Agianniotiko ( Greek Αγιαννιώτικο ) is native to the Cyclades archipelago (Κυκλάδες) in the Aegean Sea . According to the oenologist Haroula Spinthiropoulou, the variety still copes well with the dry climate of Mykonos, which is strongly influenced by the wind .
Ampelographic varietal characteristics
In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:
- The shoot tip is open. It is hairy white and woolly with a carmine-red tinge. The young leaves are only slightly woolly hairy and spotted bronze (anthocyanin spots).
- The leaves are five-lobed and barely curved (see also the article leaf shape ). The stalk bay is closed like a lyre. The blade is bluntly serrated. The teeth have a medium distance in comparison to the grape varieties.
- The grape is medium-sized, shouldered and dense berries. The rounded berries are also medium-sized and black and blue in color. The berries have a pleasant but neutral taste.
The grape variety ripens around 30 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late among the red grape varieties. In the Cyclades, it can usually be harvested in mid to late September. The etymology of the name says the maturing to John: this statement probably refers to the name day of John Chrysostom .
Synonyms
The grape variety Agianniotiko is also known under the names Aggianiotiko, Aghianniotico, Aghianniotoco, Agiannitiko and Ayianiotico.
