Kotsifali

The red grape variety originates from Crete or the Cyclades(Greece). Synonyms are Corfiatico, Corfiatis, Korfiatiko, Korfiatis, Korphiates, Korphiatiko, Korphiatis, Kotrifali, Kotsifaloliatiko, Kotsiphali and Kotzifali.

Kotsifali - Weintraube und Blatt

Parentage

The parentage is unknown. The Korphiatiko variety (with the synonym Korfiatis) is possibly identical. The variety Kotsifoliatiko is a direct descendant, presumably through natural crossing with Liatiko.

Characteristics

The early to medium-ripening vine is resistant to both types of mildew and botrytis. It produces light red, high-alcohol but rather low-acid red wines with aromas of herbs and strawberries, which are mainly used as a blend with the more tannic and colourful Mandilaria variety.
