Today i'll join the challenge introduced by my friend @cgolano
The challenge is about making an assessment of the wines we are consuming, valuation without any technical or specialized eagerness. Simply expressing the sensations that the wine produces when we drink it. So that we can know different prices, wineries and vintages expanding our limits of wisdom
A few days ago I closed my trip for the summer holidays with my family, we will return to Greece!
And the best way to start tasting the holidays is to remember the past stays, looking at the photos of 4 years ago I have found this delight!
VINE: Sigalas Assyrtiko-Athiri 2013
CELLAR: Assyrtiko-Athiri
ZONE: Santorini
SCORE: 8.5
TAKEN WITH: octopus, grape, fruit, fish ..
QUALITY-PRICE RELATIONSHIP: 5 (i bought it in the island so i payed the tourist "timinsky" price
AVERAGE PRICE: 16 €
VINIFICATION: Stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature
COMMENTS: I really can not be objective, when you are on vacation and with this panorama everything tastes good! But being critical 13.5% of alcohol is a bit excessive for my taste, I prefer that they do not exceed 11.5% / 12% but that is already a personal issue due to the migraines that I suffer. A perfect wine to contemplate the infinite horizon between meals or as an aperitif.
You can find more rewiews about Sigalas 2013:
To Greece we owe part of our wine culture and according to the historian Thucydides it was thanks to the cultivation of olive trees and vines when the Mediterranean peoples began to emerge from barbarism
I recommend the wine and the island of Santori!
