What are the peculiar characteristics of the territory and its wines?
The territory of Santorini is a mixture of volcanic ash and pumice. Throughout the entire length of the island, both small and large rocks composed of magnesium and ferrous iron are encountered, as well as small and large lava deposits, all of which are of volcanic origin. The pumice extends from the surface, to considerable depths. Through the centuries, a rather unique vine was cultured, “kouloura”, that has a circular shape and you can only find it in Santorini. The winemaking of Santorini has ancient roots , with techniques passed through generations making its wines complex & multidimensional, rich & age-worthy.
Can you briefly describe the route and which territories of cultural and enotourist interest it crosses?
Santorini follows the road of tradition, evolving its cultural and enotourist characteristics. It preserves its ancient civilization by keeping the old “canaves”, wineries built in caves, indigenous grapes and traditional techniques that wine makers try to inherit to their wines. On the other hand, you will meet producers that approach the philosophy of well-being and natural resourcing. All of the above result in distinctive and premium wines, rich gastronomy based on locality and innovative products.
