Vino di Sasso

The altitude ranges from 650-700 meters and the age of the vineyards is about thirty years. The soil in this variety is its important feature. The fragmented limestone (lime stone) and the special general soil-climatic conditions with the unique effect of the big mountain (Ainos), as a whole compose a unique vineyard. To give the special character of this wine we borrowed the name of the English commissioner Napier who first called it Vino di Sasso where it means Wine of the Stone. From this noble variety are produced white, aromatic wines, of high acidity with subtle aromas of minerality (mineral). Aromatic characteristics change over time. Initially, they give the feeling of fresh fruits such as lemon and other citrus fruits but also their flowers, while later, (in bottled wines of the second and third year) with the late maturation in the bottle, the petrol versions of the limestone background (terroir) emerge. In addition to its characteristic acidity as mentioned above, the wine also develops a long aftertaste with its aging potential of seven years. This wine is produced in a limited number of bottles.
