Assyrtiko 2023 Volcania

Volcania Assyrtiko 2023

Origin and vineyard story

Volcania Assyrtiko 2023 comes once again from the volcanic soils of Kos, where careful manual harvest at the end of September and even lower yields enhance purity and freshness. The family’s passion continues to guide every step, preserving local traditions and showcasing this Mediterranean variety with great energy.

Winery approach

After careful manual sorting, the grapes ferment spontaneously in stainless steel under strict temperature control to highlight aromas and acidity. Ageing on fine lees for seven months adds body and depth, delivering a vibrant, mineral white with remarkable aromatic precision.

Colour: pale straw yellow with greenish highlights.
Nose: intense hints of fresh citrus, wildflowers and subtle saline notes.
Palate: fresh, savoury, vibrant, with a long, pleasantly mineral 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.
