Typically a warm mesoclimate with northeast exposure that moderates the effect. Most of the vineyards are low in altitude while the presence of the mountain of Imerovigli just above protects from the winds. A terroir not very much expressed beyond Vassaltis winery. Grapes are sourced from various sites. Tight nose with shy intensity needing time to open up. Lots of stone fruit and herbal aromas. Structured on the palate with just sweet fruit and a phenolic touch. Youthful.
