Moschofilero
Anyone in pursuit of a Greek grape variety which promises refreshment and enlivenment, all the while offering exoticism unprecedented in a Mediterranean country, should look no further than Moschofilero: it automatically springs to mind. Just as “moscho”, the first part of its name, promises this charismatic grape is the most aromatic one of the fileri grape family. Despite the reddish or grayish hue of its berries it is mostly used for the production of dry whites and some sparkling wines.
Producer
Liqueur Fi is a Fatourada — Kythira's traditional spiced spirit, with roots believed to go back to the island's centuries under Venetian rule. It's made by infusing tsipouro, a Greek grape-marc spirit, with orange and citrus peels along with warming spices, traditionally offered to guests on the island alongside its well-known marzipan sweets. This bottling adds a Moschofilero grape distillate to the base tsipouro for extra aromatic lift.
