GAI'A Assyrtiko
Vinegar
Produced in Santorini from Assyrtiko grapes, this rare
vinegar has its roots deep in the long winemaking tradition
of this Aegean Sea Island.
The must produced, after having crushed the Assyrtiko
berries, is split in two equal parts. One is turned
into dry vinegar by the traditional method and then
aged for more than 4 years in 225 lit. oak casks. The
other part of the must is reduced in the ? of its initial
volume by gentle heating in cooper pots. The aged dry
vinegar is then blended with the reduced must and then
the resulting sweet vinegar is aged again for another
12 months in 500 lit. oak casks. After the 12 months,
it is bottled directly from the oak casks without any
filtering or other treatment in quarter liter bottles.
Enjoy this rare vinegar with its powerful aroma and
sweet long lasting aftertaste. |
