Xynomavro (Greek Ξυνόμαυρο) (aka Xinomavro) 'sour black' is the principal red wine grape of the uplands of the Naoussa and Amyntaion areas, in the prefecture of Imathia in Northern Greece. Various writers have compared Xynomavro to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Chianti, pinot noir, etc.[link].
This grape is primarily cultivated in Naoussa, Goumenissa, Amyntaio, Rapsani, Trikomo, Siatista, Velvendo, and, on a lesser scale, on Mount Athos, at Ossa, Ioannina, Magnisia, Kastoria and Trikala. Total cultivated acreage reaches 18,000 stremmata (1,800 hectares).[link]
