WINE DESCRIPTION

Idisma Drios Assyrtiko is a distinguished white wine from Wine Art Estate, hailing from Greece. Crafted from grapes grown in the cool-climate regions of Mikrochori and Kali Vrisi, this Assyrtiko thrives on the region's cold winters and refreshing north winds. The winemaking process begins with a cold soak of the grape skins to enhance aromatic richness, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After the initial fermentation, the wine matures in 225-liter French oak barrels for about six months, with manual bâtonnage employed to develop its volume, density, and creamy texture. The result is an exuberant wine that balances the lemony vibrancy characteristic of Assyrtiko with a concentrated, well-rounded profile.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Wine Art Estate Idisma Drios Assyrtiko is an exceptional white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Assyrtiko grape variety.On the nose, Idisma Drios Assyrtiko offers a vibrant bouquet of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle floral notes. These aromas create an inviting and refreshing experience. The palate of this wine is equally impressive. It displays a crisp acidity that is well-balanced with a mineral-driven character. The citrus flavors continue to shine through, with additional hints of green apple and a touch of salinity. The wine's medium body and smooth texture contribute to its overall elegance. Idisma Drios Assyrtiko is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its acidity and freshness make it an excellent companion for seafood, particularly grilled fish or shellfish. It also complements light salads and vegetarian dishes.
