Origin

KLEFTIS Assyrtico is produced in Greece, a country renowned for its ancient winemaking traditions and unique indigenous grape varieties.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from the Assyrtiko grape, a native Greek white grape variety known for its crisp acidity and mineral character.

Production

The Assyrtiko grapes are carefully hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve their fresh and vibrant aromas. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its purity and crispness.
