Synonym (also Phokiano Kokkineli, Phokiano Mavro) for the grape variety Fokiano; see there.
Under this name, various white, red and black berry grape varieties are cultivated in Greece on some islands in the Aegean Sea, as well as in the regions of Macedonia and Thrace. The name is derived from Phokaia (Phocaea), an ancient Greek city on the west coast of Anatolia (now Foça in Turkey), which was settled by the Ionians.
A red grape...
The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
