This wine from Domaine Sigalas is the ideal expression of two distinctive, indigenous varieties of the Santorini island: The powerful, intense, earthy Assirtiko variety (70% of the blend), which offers the typical expression of the volcanic soil of Santorini, is in great balance with the more aromatic and soft Athiri variety. The nose is brimming with ripe citrus fruit, while the palate shows excellent structure, refreshing acidity and pesistent finish. Ideal with fish and white meat dishes with light sauces.
Alcohol: 14%
