Wine maker’s notes
Vignoble sur le volcan
Vinification:
White grapes sourced from the privately owned vineyard “Agios Nikitas” in the Megalochori area of Santorini. This is a blend composed of 65% tank-fermented and 35% barrel-fermented wine. The varietal composition is 80% Assyrtiko, with the remaining 20% made up of Athiri, Aidani, Katsano, and Platani. Traditional white vinification is followed, beginning with 24-hour pre-fermentation cold soak, destemming, gentle pressing in a pneumatic press, must clarification, and alcoholic fermentation at controlled low temperatures.
Tasting Notes:
The aromatic profile is moderately intense and complex, featuring notes of ripe pear and chamomile, complemented by hints of dried nuts, a result of the 35% barrel-aged portion of the blend, which matured for 12 months in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is balanced and medium-bodied, with layered flavors of oak, bitter orange, grapefruit, and roasted walnut.
Food Pairing:
Pairs beautifully with carbonara, mushroom risotto, pork knuckle, or salmon baked in parchment. Serve chilled at 10°C.
Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.
Important notes:
-It is an offense to purchase or attempt to purchase alcoholic liquor if you are under the age of 18.
-The price includes safe packaging cost
About Venetsanos Winery
Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition in producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently, it was exported extensively, particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards.
The Venetsanos winery, which can now be visited, is the culmination of this rich family tradition with the recently revamped buildings. The exceptional architectural structure is combined with the history of one of the most important wine producers in the Aegean. The winery is located in the most breathtaking location offering incredible vistas over the caldera and volcanic islands.
The winery today offers you the chance to walk through and discover the history and tradition as well as the new winemaking techniques. You are able to take a detailed tour of the winery from our expert staff while also tasting some of our exceptional wines
