ASPRA CHARAKIA

APPELLATION: Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Crete

TYPE: White dry wine

VARIETAL COMPOSITION: Vidiano (100%)

Tasting Note

A spondee to the most delicate native variety of Crete. Clear colour, with slightly greenish reflections. Elegant scent, reminding of the Cretan countryside aromas in autumn. Balanced flavour, determined by citrus fruit, as they release a pleasant acidity for the end.
