The summer heat inspired today’s w**e lesson! ☀️🍷
W**es You Should Know | Part III • Assyrtiko 🇬🇷
Meet one of Greece’s most iconic white w**es.
From the volcanic soils of Santorini, Assyrtiko is famous for doing something remarkable: even under the hot Mediterranean sun, it holds onto its vibrant acidity, producing w**es that are crisp, refreshing, and beautifully mineral-driven.
Something super unique? To protect the grapes from the strong Aegean winds and intense Mediterranean sun, growers weave the vines into low, basket-shaped coils called “kouloura”, a centuries-old technique found almost nowhere else in the world.
If you’re looking for a white w**e that shines alongside seafood, fresh Mediterranean flavors, or simply a warm summer evening, Assyrtiko is a must-try.
Stop by Verre and let us pour you a glass. 🍋🌊
