Greece : Unicity of Antics varieties

Service Description

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN Greece. Cradle of viticulture. Dionysus built an empire and revealed to the world the beauty of a nectar from the realm of the gods. Today, Greece has one of the world's greatest diversities of grape varieties. Over 400 recorded. And certainly as many whose names and existence we don't yet know. This masterclass is a journey through the living history of wine. Eight wines that tell 3,000 years of wine culture. Grapes nobody can pronounce. Impossible terroirs. A renaissance underway. ABSOLUTE DIVERSITY Assyrtiko. Malagousia. Vilana. Xinomavro. Agiorgitiko. Mavrodaphne. Grapes found nowhere else on earth. No other country possesses this genetic wealth. Mediterranean culture is everywhere. Locals live through the sea. But also inland and in the mountains. Amynteon is one of Europe's highest wine regions, reaching 750 meters altitude. The whites are marked by salinity and volcanic terroir. The reds have a tannic structure and acidity that defy Mediterranean wine clichés. And historical wines like Retsina are experiencing a true renaissance. YOUR JOURNEY Santorini and its basket-trained vines on black volcanic soil. Naoussa and its Xinomavro, comparable to Nebbiolo. Nemea and its Agiorgitiko, the wine of Hercules. Crete and its millennial grape varieties. Modern Retsina that surprises the skeptics. The iconic Muscats of Samos and Crete. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER How black lava shapes Santorini's whites. Why Xinomavro fascinates Barolo lovers. What makes these grapes impossible to find elsewhere. Why Greece represents the best discovery-to-price ratio right now. You leave with names to remember, winemakers to follow, and the conviction that Greek wine deserves better than its postcard image. WHO IS THIS FOR? Adventurers. Lovers of rare grapes. Those who want to taste history in their glass. Those seeking the next great region before it explodes. The curious about volcanic terroirs.
