Milia Riza Wines Blanc De Gris 2021

The only wine brand in Greece dedicated exclusively to the production of quality sparkling wines, was created by the oenologist Nancy Mazou (granddaughter of Thanasis Papaioannou) and the oenologist & agronomist Stefano Stante (born & studied in Portugal), with the contribution -in an advisory role- of the Italian Alessandro Belloto. The first syllable of the name Milia comes from the word "familia", which of course means family and sounds almost the same in all three languages of the team's heritage: Greek, Italian and Portuguese. The second part of his name, Riza, represents exactly these roots. A root will always symbolize a new beginning, a new life, something new.

In the glass we find a pale yellow color with greenish highlights and a fine "perlage". Blanc de Gris reveals aromas of lemon zest, green apple, peach, apricot, mint, roasted nuts and rose petals. On the palate it is crisp, with intense acidity and a long aftertaste of the above aromas, but also of tropical fruits, such as pineapple and passion fruit.
