This is what good wine from the Kotsifali grape tastes like

The Kotsifali grape grows almost exclusively on the Greek island of Crete. It produces relatively simple, spicy wines with aromas reminiscent of strawberries. It's rare to find a wine made solely from Kotsifali.

Kotsifali is likely an indigenous Cretan grape, although there are also theories that it might originate from the Ionian Islands off the west coast of Greece. Kotsifali is a difficult grape for winemakers. The grapes don't produce much color, which increases the risk of producing poor-quality red wines. Therefore, it is usually blended with Mandelaria or Syrah. A few Cretan winemakers manage to make truly interesting wines from Kotsifali.
