1.Santorini: This island is famous for its volcanic soils and unique climate, which contribute to the distinctive character of its Assyrtiko wines. The combination of strong winds, hot sun, and limited rainfall makes for low-yielding vines that produce intensely flavored grapes, resulting in wines with high acidity and minerality.
2.Nemea: Located in the Peloponnese, Nemea is the most important region for Agiorgitiko. The region’s diverse soils, ranging from clay to limestone, along with its Mediterranean climate, allow for the production of both vibrant, fruit-forward reds and more structured, age-worthy wines.
3.Naoussa: Situated in northern Greece, Naoussa is renowned for its Xinomavro wines. The region’s varied altitudes and predominantly sandy and loamy soils provide the perfect environment for this grape, resulting in wines that are complex, with notable acidity and tannic structure, suitable for aging.
