“Alargo” Red
Douloufakis Red wine
Plethoric | Jammy | Complex
This wine has very dark-red colour, close to Tyrian red. It has a complex aromatic bouquet that is reminiscent of plum, dark cherry jam, vanilla, dried ham and dark chocolate. The wine has an overabundant flavour profile which –as time passes- becomes richer. It has a thick taste, with juicy tannins and a long lasting, spicy aftertaste.
Protected Geographical Indication “CRETE”

Red wine that was released as “Douloufakis Syrah” in 2005; its name and label were redesigned in 2011. “Alargo” means “far away” and the label illustrates a figure of a Cretan man looking into the distance towards his homeland.

Serving Alargo Red wine
Should be served at 17⁰C and would well accompany red meat with rich sauces, hunting, pork shank and the traditional Italian dish “osso buco”. It would equally well accompany lobster cooked in red wine sauce or red tuna fillet, cooked on the grill.
