Idisma Drios Assyrtiko
The adaptation of the Assyrtiko variety, the most dynamic Greek white variety, to the microclimate of Mikrochori region, results to a generous wine. Straw pale color, intense citrus-fruits aromas with a distinctive peachy character. Full mouth with a refreshing acidity, which is balanced at the end by the greasiness of the alcohol, while the ageing in oak barrels, adds the sweet and long aftertaste.

Mikrochori
The vineyards at Mikrochori overlook Mount Pangaion, in antiquity home of the cult of Dionysus and the Orphic mysteries.
The vineyards were planted on carefully chosen south-facing slopes, well protected against late frosts. The soil is mainly sandy-clay, suitable for the cultivation of the Greek and foreign varieties planted and ideal for the development of their characteristics.
