In the “Winelands of Greece” series, the most important wine-producing areas of the country are presented with the knowledge and enthusiasm of the oenologist Dimitris Hatzinikolaou. In each area, the terroir, the varieties produced and the wineries open to visitors are described, with emphasis on their finest creations.
The guide in this series for Santorini takes us on a vinicultural tour of this unique island, with its 3,500-year history of producing wine: from its distinctive vineyards –the oldest on Greek soil– to its wineries and the high-quality wines they offer (with the famed Asyrtiko taking pride of place) and their suggestions for tasty dishes to accompany them.
