Assyrtiko, originating from the volcanic soils of Santorini, thrives here in the Peloponnese, yielding a wine that feels both ancient and utterly present. Historoots' expression of this noble Greek grape sings with a vibrant, saline minerality, a direct echo of its island heritage. Expect a brisk, almost electric acidity that awakens the palate, hinting at sun-kissed citrus and the bracing sea air.
