Kir means Master in Greek and Yianni refers to Yiannis Boutaris (yes, those Boutaris) who is held in the deepest respect as mentor of this influential Macedonian winery, originally a spin-off of the Boutari Wine Group. Now run by sons Stellios and Mihalis, half of their Naoussa vineyard (and 100% of their signature bottling, Ramnista) is planted to Xinomavro, "the Nebbiolo of Greece."
