PERPETUUS RED
2020
VARIETAL WINE
DRY RED WINE
Perpetuus means continuous, everlasting, perpetual. In 2004, the NICO LAZARIDI Winery, through its continuous quest of new tasting experiences and after a planning of many years and incessant vinifications in small individual batches, created two new products: a white and a red wine named Perpetuus.
The noble wine Perpetuus red is produced from the varieties Cabernet Franc and Mavroudi, which create a blend of aromas and flavour harmony.
