Skopelitiko

The red grape variety comes from Greece. Synonyms are Scopelitico and Skopelitis. The late ripening vine is well resistant to fungal diseases. It produces dark-coloured, tannin-rich red wines with moderate acidity and rustic notes. The name refers to the Sporades island of Skópelos, from where the variety was brought to the island of Corfu (Kerkyra) by monks. Here it is cultivated in the centre and south.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
