Brand New 97 Point Assyrtiko:

OENO P, TRIA AMPELIA, ASSYRTIKO, SANTORINI, GREECE, 2022

OENO Π was founded by Paris Sigalas in the old wine cave of his family. It is located in front of the sea, in the area of the Kolumbo volcano, in Baxedes-Oia. What was once the traditional wine cellar (kanava) of Paris Sigalas' family, later housed the first steps of Domaine Sigalas winery, which was founded in 1991. Seven years later, a production unit for bottling and aging was built in the vineyard of Oia and the winery moved to this new privately owned space where it operates to this day. Today, in the very same expanded and modernized kanava, Paris Sigalas creates OENO Π with the aim of continuing his research and highlighting the great potential of this unique vineyard. OENO Π and Domaine Sigalas are now forming a strong synergy.

97 Points - Wine Advocate: From the master of Assyrtiko himself, Paris Sigalas, the 2022 Santorini Tria Ampelia is beautifully stitched together with various threads that complete a full portrait of the grape. It delivers complexity and intensity with subtle fruit nuances of Moroccan preserved lemon, Gala apple and nougat. On the other side of the aromatic spectrum, it delivers sharp mineral notes with salted cracker and crushed seashell. The wine's elegant mid-weight texture is driven by animating acidity. From the classic 2022 vintage, this excellent bottle is for the Assyrtiko purists out there.
