Limnio (LIM-nee-oh) is a red Greek wine grape variety[1] that is indigenous to the Greek island of Lemnos. The grape has had a long history of wine production that may extend back to Ancient Greece with wine historians widely believing it was the grape variety, Lemnia, that was described by Aristotle as producing the famous red Lemnian wine.[2][3] According to wine expert Oz Clarke, Limnio is "One of Greece's most important red vines."[4]
