Καρανίκα Blanc des Blancs

60,20 €

The grapes come from a 1.4-hectare vineyard situated at 700 metres above sea level, planted on sandy limestone soils with a high chalk content and farmed according to gentle, low-intervention practices. Fermentation is carried out exclusively with indigenous yeasts in 600-litre barrels, with minimal sulphur additions and no oenological additives. The wine then undergoes a second fermentation in bottle and spends 24 months ageing on its lees. The result is a sparkling wine of remarkable precision, defined by an exceptionally fine and persistent mousse, pronounced chalky minerality, delicate white flowers and vibrant citrus notes. It is a compelling expression of Assyrtiko's potential in the cool-climate conditions of Amyndeo, where the variety gains both tension and finesse. Crafted with gastronomy firmly in mind, this is a sparkling wine designed for the dining table rather than the aperitif hour—following the philosophy of many of the world's greatest traditional-method sparkling wines.
