MY WINE TODAY. Sigalas 2013
Today i'll join the challenge introduced by my friend @cgolano
The challenge is about making an assessment of the wines we are consuming, valuation without any technical or specialized eagerness. Simply expressing the sensations that the wine produces when we drink it. So that we can know different prices, wineries and vintages expanding our limits of wisdom
A few days ago I closed my trip for the summer holidays with my family, we will return to Greece!
And the best way to start tasting the holidays is to remember the past stays, looking at the photos of 4 years ago I have found this delight!
VINE: Sigalas Assyrtiko-Athiri 2013
CELLAR: Assyrtiko-Athiri
ZONE: Santorini
SCORE: 8.5
TAKEN WITH: octopus, grape, fruit, fish ..
QUALITY-PRICE RELATIONSHIP: 5 (i bought it in the island so i payed the tourist "timinsky" price
AVERAGE PRICE: 16 €
VINIFICATION: Stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature
COMMENTS: I really can not be objective, when you are on vacation and with this panorama everything tastes good! But being critical 13.5% of alcohol is a bit excessive for my taste, I prefer that they do not exceed 11.5% / 12% but that is already a personal issue due to the migraines that I suffer. A perfect wine to contemplate the infinite horizon between meals or as an aperitif.

To Greece we owe part of our wine culture and according to the historian Thucydides it was thanks to the cultivation of olive trees and vines when the Mediterranean peoples began to emerge from barbarism
I recommend the wine and the island of Santori!

@beiker Santorini is a pearl but the greek wine not so much. Stick with Uzo, enjoy olives, seafood/lamb, frappe and swimming in the Ionian or Aegean Sea. We travel often to Greece. I love wine and wineries in the neighbouring countries. Next time you travel ask for Brunello di Montalcino and enjoy every drop of that wine. My favorite wines are from France.
I have to agree with @world-traveler. Wine is a complex topic & as @beiker mentioned, intermingled with history. France, Italy & Spain are the top wine producing countries in the world. Not only they produce the largest quantity of wine but they also produce some of the best wines as well. The region where the grapes grow greatly affects the flavor and so does any change in climate. Not every year is a good year and not everyone will enjoy the uniqueness wine has to offer. But ppl who enjoy wine like experimenting new regions new bottles. I don't have a favorite wine, I like most of them but at the same time I would give you a straight answer because the truth is, quality of wine effects taste, mind and overall health. I hate to open a bottle that within seconds of opening it will hit me with a smell. I will be able to smell and tell right away the issue (oxidized, corked, brett etc). I don't drink quantity, I'm all about quality.
@pillars4goodlife I have experienced less corked wines in the past few years. Advance treatments and screw-caps are helping.
Sigala? cigaleta? WTF!
vaya nombre neng! Seguro que es bueno!
el próximo se llama Cojón de Gato :)
Looks like a fantastic view!!! There is so much of the world I would still like to see.
