Nasiakos 2005 Mantinia Moschofilero (Mantinia)
- $17
Mantinia is the appellation for Moschofilero, a versatile grape that makes fine, crisp whites. This is a good example, a light, dry, crisply acidic wine that pours on the lemon-lime from start to long finish. Perfect to pair with oysters or grilled swordfish.
