Description
What kind of wine it is
Artemis Karamolegos Santorini is an organic white wine that embodies the energy of Greek viticulture. Produced by Artemis Karamolegos from Assyrtiko, Aidani and Athiri grapes, it displays a straw yellow colour. The aromatic profile offers peach, pear, citrus fruits, jasmine, mint and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it reveals an elegant structure, fresh acidity and wet stone minerality, with a dense, intense sip and a persistent finish. It pairs superbly with raw seafood, tartare, grilled octopus and cheeses.
Where it comes from
This white originates from the Greek island of the same name, within the Santorini denomination. The grapes come from old vines on volcanic soils, in parcels from renowned areas such as Pyrgos, Exo Gonia, Megalochori, Akrotiri, Emporio, Fira and Kamari. The mapping highlights various microclimatic nuances, imparting a distinctive tension. The meeting of local grape varieties and geological matrix defines a profound mineral freshness and an authentic expression of the territory.
How it is produced
The production of this white involves meticulous vinification in stainless steel tanks, aimed at enhancing the purity of the grapes. The process may include a pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature. To preserve the identity of each plot, the varieties and different origins are processed separately. The wine's balance is achieved in the final blend, created through careful selection of the harvest's characteristics. Finally, prolonged ageing on the fine lees for at least twelve months enriches the wine's profile, giving it remarkable tactile consistency and pronounced aromatic persistence.
History and Curiosities
Artemis Karamolegos Santorini embodies the essence of Greek viticulture: it is born from old vines that are eighty years old, rooted in the characteristic volcanic soils of the island.

Perfect for accompanying raw seafood, it stands out for its persistent and enveloping finish.
