Mavro Messenikola is a red wine grape variety from Greece, named after the region of Messenikolas in Thessaly. This grape is used primarily to produce dry red wines. The Mavro Messenikola designation of origin was established in 1989. The wines produced under this designation must be made from at least 85% Mavro Messenikola grapes, with the remainder typically being made up of other local or international red grape varieties.
