Kir Yianni Assyrtiko - Le Nord (3 bottle minimum)

ASSYRTIKO THE NORTH

100% Assyrtiko PGI Florina

Winemaker's Notes
Vibrant yellow lemon color. On the nose, apple-fresh and citrusy aromas with white blossom notes. The mouth is crisp and zesty with delicate mineral notes in the background. Pleasant lingering finish. Extremely versatile in food and wine pairings and a perfect choice for wine by the glass.

Viticulture
As its label suggests, our ASSYRTIKO is produced from selected vine parcels located in The North of Greece, at the village of Agios Panteleimonas in Florina, at the unique plateau of Amyndeon. There lies the cooler viti-vini region of Greece, consisting of an exceptional mixture of elements. High altitudes between 600 – 700 meters and poor sandy soils on a stunning terrain of raw mountainous beauty. The four neighboring lakes act as a moderating influence of surrounding temperatures all year round, contributing to the continental-ish climate with cold -often snowy- winters and mild summers, notable diurnal variation, and the beneficial, trademark to the area, wind blowing from the north. For this introduction to the varietal mountainous expression, we select mostly young vines of Assyrtiko (average age of vines 10 years).

Food Pairings
A wine ideal for food pairings: fish fillet roasted or poached, fried-cod, oven- roasted stuffed squid, pasta in sauce, white cheeses.
