Wine 101Assyrtico; Assyrtiko [ah-SYR-tih-koh]fromA high-quality white grape that’s not only the main variety grown on the Greek island Santorini but also increasingly grown throughout Greece. Assyrtico has citrus and honeysuckle traits and a trademark ACIDITY that perseveres even as it fully ripens in the hot Greek climate. It’s often used as a BLENDING WINE with wines from grapes with low acidity.
