Araklinos

Araklinos is a red grape variety from Greece, also known by synonyms Araclinos, Araklino, and Raklino. The parentage is unknown, though it is believed to be identical to the Vranac variety from Montenegro. This medium-maturing variety is sensitive to drought and produces alcohol-rich red wines with moderate acidity. It is cultivated in the western Peloponnese and on the Ionian island of Kefallonia.

Araklinos wines are tannic, with a focus on richness and alcohol content. The variety is known for its ability to yield robust wines, though details on specific aromas or flavors are limited.

Araklinos is primarily found in the western Peloponnese and Kefallonia in Greece, where it is grown in dry conditions and contributes to the production of tannic red wines.

Araklinos is assumed to be identical to the Vranac variety, which is popular in Montenegro, though its precise relationship remains unconfirmed.
