Santo is one of the biggest producers in Santorini, with a history dating back to 1947. Today it represents some 1,200 grape growers across the island. The Santo 2019 Assyrtiko is grown in volcanic soils in the villages of Pyrgos and Imerovigli. A vast array of aromas rush forward in the glass, including lemon, citrus zest, grapefruit, and honeysuckle. The palate is invigoratingly fresh and focused with a building mineral element against a vibrant backbone of acidity. It has aging potential and an overall memorable character unique to Santorini.
