Krassato

The red grape variety originates from Greece. Synonyms are Krasata and Krasato. The parentage is unknown. The late-maturing, high-yielding vine is susceptible to powdery mildew. It yields spicy, alcohol-rich red wines with moderate tannin and acidity. The variety is cultivated in the region of Thessaly at the foot of Mount Olympus, where it is registered with the varieties Stavroto and Xinomavro in the POP red wine Rapsani, and also in Macedonia. On the Aegean island of Thasos, it is the most common grape variety. In 2016, five hectares of vines were reported with a decreasing trend (Kym Anderson).
