Aralle
Since antiquity, Ikaria has been connected to god Dionysus, the cultivation of vineyards and the production of the ancient Pramnian wine. The island is also renowned for the longevity of its people, which is associated with the local way of life. Aralle comes from the Greek word «aragma», which means "to unwind and sit back and relax", a pastime that is highly appreciated in the Ikarian culture.
This is a minimal intervention wine made from the local grape varieties of Fokiano and Koundouro (Mantilaria). Vinification takes place with the aid of indigenous yeasts that reflect the unique terroir of the island and yield wine of full body, balanced flavor and the aroma of plums and cherries.
