Light winters, rare rainfall, cool summer mild winds, known as “meltemia”. Additionally, the night sea mist created by the evaporation of the sea during the hot summer sunny days, works as a natural moisturizer for the plants. The orientation of the vineyards (facing north) and the altitude retain a lower average temperature throughout the year. Additionally, the sea mist created by the evaporation of the sea during the hot summer nights, works as a natural moisturizer for the plants. The salty spray that covers the grapes boosts minerality and adds a pleasant, slightly briny character to the wine.
