Lagorthi
Introduction
Lagorthi is primarily cultivated in the mountainous and semi-mountainous vineyards of Aigialeia and Kalavryta. It is a variety that thrives in high altitudes and cool climates, offering wines that resemble the style of Central European wines rather than the classic Mediterranean. Low Alcohol Content: It is one of the few Greek varieties that produce wines with naturally low alcohol, without losing flavor. Crystal Clarity: It is distinguished by the purity of its aromas and the freshness it imparts. Unique Style: It is the ideal choice for those who avoid 'heavy' or overly rich white wines.
Tasting Notes
Color: Pale lemon with green and silver highlights. Aromas: Subtle notes of green apple, pear, peach, and citrus, often accompanied by a mineral sensation and hints of white flowers. Palate: Elegant, with medium to high acidity, light body, and a delicate finish that refreshes.
Gastronomy
Lagorthi is the perfect wine for 'light' flavors and summer dishes: Raw Seafood: Sushi, ceviche, fish carpaccio, or fresh oysters. Salads: Green salads with fruits or citrus vinaigrette. Light Dishes: Risotto with asparagus, peas, or fresh herbs.
Terroir
Northern slopes overlooking the Corinthian Gulf, at an altitude of 600-900 meters. Sandy clay soils. Climate: Cool, almost mountainous climate, with a sea breeze that prevents heatwaves. Result: Low alcohol and crystal-clear acidity.
