Almost clear in color. Notes of the sea on the nose. More complex than their Santorini flagship Assyrtiko. Paired so well with ceviche at Sigalas winery in Santorini. — 4 months ago

98 was not a great vintage and why Giacosa bottled the SS as a red label has long been a bit of a mystery. There’s a lot in this wine to like, and no reason to leave it sitting in the cellar. Fully mature, ample bricking, softer but still lively fruit, rich mouthfeel with classic sous bois, a bit of iron, red berry and herbal overlay, and soft maybe a bit overripe tannin. Lovely, but not near Giacosa’s most memorable SSRs. — 4 months ago

Nicely aromatic, with grapefruit, a bit of lemon peel, some apricot and some grassy notes. Restrained and enticing.
On the palate this shows more with ripe white peach, grapefruit and some exotic notes. Nicely balanced & juicy with great flow, esp slightly over chilled.
Year in, year out a super safe bet when island hopping in the Cyclades and being at the mercy of local minimarkets. — 3 months ago

Santo Wines — Santorini Assyrtiko 2025
Santorini PDO, Greece 🇬🇷

Overview
100% Assyrtiko from selected mountain vineyards on Santorini, grown in the island’s arid, volcanic, low-yielding conditions. This is a particularly graceful expression of the variety—less about sheer intensity and more about finesse, freshness, and that unmistakable Santorini personality.

Aromas & Flavors
Fresh lemon, citrus peel, green apple, and delicate white fruit, with subtle herbal notes and a distinctly stony, volcanic character.

Mouthfeel
Light- to medium-bodied, agile, and beautifully vibrant. Crisp acidity drives the palate, while pronounced minerality and a subtle saline edge add dimension. There is even a very distant suggestion of fizz that gives the wine extra energy without distracting from its refinement.

Food Pairings
Grilled octopus, fresh fish, oysters, shrimp, Greek salads, lemon-herb chicken, or simply grilled Mediterranean vegetables.

Verdict
One of the most delicious Santorini Assyrtikos I’ve tasted recently. Delicate yet expressive, mineral-driven without becoming austere, and wonderfully refreshing. It captures Assyrtiko’s serious side while remaining incredibly inviting from the first sip.

Did You Know?
Santorini’s Assyrtiko vines are traditionally grown in basket-shaped kouloura, protecting the grapes from the island’s fierce winds and intense sun. Many vineyards are also ungrafted, rooted directly into the island’s volcanic soils.

🍷 Personal Pick
A little Santorini jewel. The finesse grabbed me immediately, but it’s the combination of stony minerality, salinity, freshness, and effortless energy that makes me want this in my cellar many times over. — 3 months ago

It was a very hot day on the coast of Los Angeles and this chilled Greek gem from the island of Santorini hot the spot. Crisp, light and citrusy with a steely minerality and a slight bitterness on the finish which literally stopped me from gulping it too fast. Paired with a German style dinner of pork schnitzel and potato salad. The cider vinegar and mustard dressing of the potato salad pushed aside the slight bitterness and bounced playfully with the citrus acidity of the wine. Riesling would have paired well of course, but I just adore an Assyrtiko. It makes me feel like I am on vacation. — 6 years ago
