Description

DRY WHITE WINE

CAVALIERI Assyrtiko is a special wine, which comes from selected vineyards of low acre yield from the famous white Greek variety, part of which matures in oak barrels for 6 months.
The CAVALIERI wine range have became single-varietal wines, made from a singular grape variety, with the aim of better highlighting specific varieties.
The name is inspired by the honorary title CAVALIERI, given by the Italian Republic to Nico, Marga and Federico Lazaridis.

Technical Characteristics

Appellation: Protected Geographical Indication Drama.

Varieties: 100% Assyrtiko

Vinification Method: Alcoholic fermentation in graduated temperatures from 12 to 17οC in stainless steel tanks. Small part of the Assyrtiko ends its fermentation in oak barrels and matures for 6 months by performing the battonage. The rest of the wine stays in stainless tanks in contact with the fine lees.

Tasting Notes: Deep lemon colour. Pronounced aromas of citrus, white stone fruit, botanical hints harmonically combined with notes of honey and jasmine, revealing the short maturation in oak barrels in the presence of fine lees. It is full bodied with a pleasantly high acidity and long aftertaste.

Aging: Will respond to aging for up to 4-5 years after harvest.

Perfect Pairing: Best served at 8-13˚C, an excellent match for fresh vegetables, greasy fish and seafood with acid sauces, mushrooms, white meat, hummus and sushi.
