Mesogeia, located in East Attica, Greece, is the place where this wine was made. For some, it is better known as the area surrounding parts of Athens. Compared to wine-producing regions such as Santorini or Crete, this area is on the south edge of continental Greece, where the micro climate for grape growth is definitely different from that on those islands. Thanks to the dry and long summers during the grape growing season, grape varieties that are cultivated in the area have to be resistant to heat and drought. Since 1979, this region has had its own geographical indication of origin, which is recognised as a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) nowadays.
Aoton is the ancient Greek word that defines the finest specimen of its class. Today, this name represents the winery dedicated to producing the finest wines with over four generations of experience. This long tradition of viticulture and wine production is continued by the oenologist Gkinis St. Sotirios.
The family organic vineyards cover an area of 6 hectares, spread in Mesogia Land of Attica Region, where the climate is temperate Mediterranean with hot, dry summers and mild winters.
This wine is made from a blend of Savatiano 70% + Roditis 30% Peania, from the 1.5 hectars vineyards at Mesogeia Attica on clay sand soils.
Hand-picked, then vinified in stainless steel with 6 months of batonnage.
Textural, curvy, silky, with a toasted nutty edge and a pleasing freshness…
Good to go with vegetable risotto, this wine can also be an excellent pairing to fresh salmon and sea urchins. If you’d like to eat like a Greek, have the wine with a youthful graviera cheese besides fava dip and red onion; if you are a fan of Japanese food, go bold and try it with sashimi or Chinese deep fried tofu sesame balls
