Home Wines White Oeno P 'Tria Ampelia' Santorini Assyrtiko

Oeno P 'Tria Ampelia' Santorini Assyrtiko

The grapes come from 3 vineyards, over 60 years old, in Fira, Akrotiri and Megalochori. The wine ferments and matures in clay amphorae for 16 months, then left on the fine lees. There is no oak involved. The Oeno Π Assyrtiko has a distinct yellow colour and impressive aromas of flint, lemon, petrol, smoke, ripe peach, crumbled bread citrus and honeysuckle. In the mouth, it’s full bodied with great acidity. Ripe citrus mingles with notes of peach, white flowers, sourdough, smoke, wet stone and honeycomb. This has to be the most complex and texturally ambitious white wine ever seen from Greece! Absolutely delicious.

Oeno Π, Santorini, Aegean Islands

Oeno Π was founded by Paris Sigalas in the original Sigalas family canava, set right by the sea in Baxedes, near Oia, in the area of the Kolumbo volcano. After stepping away from Domaine Sigalas in 2022, he returned to this historic winery to work at a deliberately small scale, producing up to 20,000 bottles per year of very high-quality wines.

Paris has chosen to exclusively use amphora in his winemaking, and single-vineyards of own-rooted, traditionally trained vines are vinified in separate amphora. This allows the character of each Santorini terroir to be expressed and blended in perfect balance and finesse into the 'Tria Ampelia' Assyrtiko, while also releasing singular amphora under their own label.

A pioneer of modern Santorini winemaking, Sigalas continues to push the boundary of what is possible by producing landmark Santorini wines.
