Thanks to the volcanic soil of the island, Santorini’s vineyards have never been affected by diseases, such as phylloksera, that destroyed most European vineyards during the 19th century. The uniqueness and the peculiarity of the ground have given a characteristic taste to the wines produced in Santorini making them famous all around the world. Assyrtiko, the dry full body wine is the star of Santorini’s wines, with its bright color and its citrus aromas combined with a pleasant mineral character. You should also try Vinsanto, the multi-awarded sweet dessert wine which is the crown jewel of Santorini wines. Do not resist a wine tasting which will give you the chance to discover more varieties like Aidani, Athiri, and the red Mandilaria and Mavrotragano.
