ASSYRTIKO

Protected Geographical Indication Crete
750ml

The grape variety called Assyrtiko is one of the most popular, white grape varieties in Greece. It hails from the Cyclades island of Santorini. Over the past 25 years, Assyrtiko has increasingly been planted on the Greek mainland and now in the South, in Crete.  Assyrtiko is one of these grape varieties that can grow on hot and dry climatic conditions, so the island of Crete fulfills the requirements.
