Assyrtiko 2022 Volcania

Volcania Assyrtiko 2022

Origin and vineyard story

Volcania Assyrtiko 2022 grows on the volcanic soils of Kos, where low yields help concentrate aromas and freshness. Grapes are hand-picked at the end of September and carefully selected to preserve varietal purity. This wine tells the story of a small family winery that believes in the strength of its unique land and the art of winemaking with respect for nature.

Winery approach

After harvest, the whole grapes ferment spontaneously in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Ageing on fine lees for at least six months gives the wine extra body and complexity. The result is a mineral, vibrant white that enhances the volcanic identity of the island with an authentic, fresh character.

Colour: bright straw yellow with golden reflections.
Nose: intense citrus aromas, white flowers and delicate salty hints.
Palate: fresh, savoury, persistent, with elegant minerality and a long finish.

Volcania Winery: A Corner of Volcanic Greece in Kos

Among volcanic rocks and family tradition

Northwest of Kefalos, on the beautiful island of Kos, stands the Volcania Winery, nestled in a unique landscape of volcanic rocks that give its wines unmistakable aromas and flavours. Here, in the Volkania area, a small family-run winery has chosen to cultivate its passion for viticulture, combining the island’s excellent climate with a deep respect for local tradition. It is a story of love for the land and dedication to a craft that, harvest after harvest, tells the story of Greece’s most authentic wine culture.

Vineyard philosophy: respect and territory

At Volcania Winery, the philosophy is clear: preserve nature and transform the mineral richness of the volcanic soil into wines with strong character. The vineyards, farmed with sustainable methods and minimal intervention, benefit from a unique microclimate that ensures slow ripening and intense aromas. Production is deliberately limited, focusing on quality and the identity of each bottle, a tangible sign of artisanal work and attention to detail.

Winery approach: the essence of the land in every bottle

In the cellar, every bunch is handled with maximum care. Spontaneous fermentations, traditional containers and gentle winemaking bring out the minerality and aromatic complexity that only Kos’ volcanic soils can offer. Low yields, strict grape selection and meticulous ageing ensure that each bottle tells the liquid story of Volkania’s landscape: intense, fragrant, unique.
