Santorini viticulture is a captivating marriage between nature's forces and the skilled hands of winemakers. The island's unique terroir, shaped by volcanic eruptions and the Aegean Sea, creates an environment that challenges winemakers to adapt and innovate.The volcanic soil, known as "aspa," is rich in minerals and porous, allowing for excellent drainage and moisture retention. This, combined with the arid Mediterranean climate and strong meltemi winds, creates a challenging yet rewarding environment for grape cultivation. To protect the vines from the fierce winds and maximize sun exposure, the traditional "kouloura" method is employed. Vines are pruned and woven into low-lying baskets, forming a protective canopy that shields the grapes and helps them ripen under the intense Mediterranean sun.
The island is renowned for its indigenous grape varieties, with Assyrtiko taking center stage. Assyrtiko grapes thrive in the volcanic soil, producing wines with vibrant acidity, mineral complexity, and a distinct saline character. Other local varieties, such as Athiri and Aidani, also contribute to the island's diverse wine offerings.
