One of the most historic but neglected Greek varieties, Savvatiano, has returned for good in the wine world by demonstrating its enormous range of possibilities. Young winemakers have embraced it, believing and betting on it. By applying innovative techniques they have made it one of the Greek stars.
The new generation of one of the historical wineries of Attica, Markou Vineyards, grappled with Savvatiano wanting to emphasize the complexity and excellent relationship with time. Barrel Fermented Savvatiano 2016 Markou Vineyards, remained in French oak barrels during the fermentation. It acquired even greater complexity and character and it is one of our best suggestions for evenings in good company, even in front of the fireplace. It will evolve beautifully for at least the next 2-3 years.
