Kairos in ancient Greek means opportune, at the right moment. Kairos is one of the unique blends created by Zyme winery and includes minimum 15 grape varieties, 4 whites and 11 reds: Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syraz, Teroldego, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese, and Marzemino.
Kairos is luminous, dense ruby red Italian, with garnet highlights as it ages. On the nose, the wine expresses a mosaic of fruit, blossoms, and earthy mineral, alternating with each other.
On the palate, Kairos unfolds an impression of richness and complexity. Fruit, spices, and higher alcohols alternate with fruit marmalade and forest oor, followed by pipe tobacco, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, combining with a vein of minerality to put on display the tremendous depth of this red wine. It concludes with great length and an appealing note of sweetness.
Ideal food pairings include elaborate dishes of all meats with hearty and spicy sauces. Excellent with aged and full-oor avoured cheeses and with game.
