Located in Santorini and more precisely in the village of Pyrgos, the modern Santo Wines winery, built in 1992, enjoys spectacular views of the caldera. Initially founded in the 1940s as a union of cooperatives, the company is today the largest wine producer on the island with a wide range of local wines made with the utmost respect for local traditions and biodiversity.
The Mavrotragano grapes, an ancient and rare native variety, come from Santorini vineyards located at a maximum altitude of approximately 400 meters, from plants aged between 20 and 60 years, planted on soil of volcanic origin. After fermentation, the finished wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrique before being bottled without filtration.
The wine, produced in limited quantities, has a bright and lively color with ruby-red tones. The nose is fresh and exuberant with aromas of berries and red fruits, followed by notes of tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, it is rich and generous, round and characterful. It has soft, well-integrated tannins and a long, slightly spicy finish. Leave it in the cellar for a few years or enjoy it now paired with roast lamb.
