The biggest greek and international competitions judge that Vinsanto is the "absolute star" of Greek sweet wines. This particularly well-crafted label perfectly combines the sweetness of overripe grapes with the acidity of Assyrtikos, giving us an elegant, complex and delightful sweet wine with a very long aging potential.
