Assyrtiko is a white grape variety that is primarily grown in the Greek island of Santorini. It is known for its high acidity, mineral character, and ability to age well. Assyrtiko is also grown in other parts of Greece, such as the island of Crete and the mainland region of Macedonia.
Assyrtiko is a versatile grape that can be used to produce a range of wines, from dry to sweet. The most common style of Assyrtiko is dry, with flavors of citrus, green apple, and stone fruit.
