Wines Unspecified 2 Ypsi - Trilogia - 2019

Viniou Reviews

The 2019 Cuvée Trilogia from 2 Ypsi is a red wine hailing from the renowned Peloponnese region of Greece. This wine is a blend, though the specific grape varieties are not listed, typically showcases a combination of indigenous Greek varietals such as Agiorgitiko or Xinomavro, with possible inclusion of international grapes. The 2019 vintage presents itself with ripe fruit characteristics balanced by a structured acidity, likely owing to the region's typical climate and soil. Peloponnese is known for its Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, which perfects the ripening of grapes while retaining essential acidity. The soils in this region are varied, but generally limestone-based, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the mineral complexity of the wines produced.

When selecting dishes to complement the 2019 Cuvée Trilogia, consider hearty, flavourful meals that will stand up to the wine's robust character. A classic Greek Moussaka, with its layers of aubergine, minced meat, and spices, would harmonise beautifully with this red wine. Alternatively, lamb dishes, particularly those with a Mediterranean twist like lamb souvlaki or roasted lamb with herbs and garlic, would also marry well with this wine. For those looking to explore regional delicacies, beef stifado, a slow-cooked stew with tomatoes and onions, would be an exquisite pairing.

For optimal enjoyment, serve the 2019 Cuvée Trilogia at a temperature of 16-18°C. This temperature range will enhance the wine’s aromatic profile and showcase its intricate flavours and structure. Prior to serving, consider allowing the wine to breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour to further develop its rich bouquet and soften the tannins, thus providing a more balanced and satisfying tasting experience.
