Kapiki White is a standout offering from Domaine Sigalas, a winery known for its commitment to expressing the unique terroir of Santorini, Greece. This wine is primarily crafted from the Assyrtiko grape, a varietal that thrives in the volcanic soils of the island. The vines are cultivated using traditional methods, such as low basket-shaped pruning, which protects them from the hot dry winds. The result is a wine that showcases remarkable minerality and crispness. Kapiki White is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh, fruity aromas and is not aged in oak, which allows the natural characteristics of the grape and terroir to shine through. This wine has received praise for its bright and zesty profile, often highlighted in notable wine reviews for its purity and expression of place.
