Terra Nera white by Artemis Karamolegkos, is the ultimate combination of freshness and maturity!
Could you ever imagine that young vineyards of Santorini could give a perfectly balanced and enjoyable wine? Of course, when we say young, we mean an average age of 50...
The history of the Artemis Karamolegkos Winery dates back to 1952. Grandfather Artemis was one of the first grape growers of the island and today some of the vines of the winery are 150 years old! The winery acquired an air of modernity, when the third generation of the family, grandson Artemis Karamolegos, took the reins. He compounded family tradition with technology and applied new techniques, both in winemaking and the vineyard. What was the result? To bottle the winery's first PDO wine! The Karamolegkos family has written an entire encyclopedia regarding the production of Santorini wines, with honors in Greece and abroad, while at the moment it is one of the first production units on the island.
For the beginning, you can start "reading" the preface of this encyclopedia, with Terra Nera series. This is the winery's simplest version of wines, but also the one that will make you want to try all the rest!
In Terra Nera white, Assyrtiko is vinified at low temperatures and thus the fruity aromas stand out more. Then it stays in contact with the lees, for about 4 months, because ok we said it is new, but it remains Assyrtiko!
Try it and trust us...it will smell like summer! Having it with food, it is a blast...just forget about water!
