Savatiano Masterclass at Domaine Papagiannakos

Founded in 1919 and located in Markopoulo Attica, just 30 kilometres from the Athens city centre, the Papagiannakos winery is the first bioclimatic winery in Greece and was specially designed to mark a new era. The family-owned vineyards are planted mainly with the Savatiano variety. Still, other Greek indigenous varieties such as Malagouzia, Assyrtiko, and Agiorgitiko have been cultivated since the family’s third generation assumed ownership. The landscape and terroir of the Attican vineyards, the climate (mild winters and hot dry summers assisted by the sea breeze) and the limestone soils create the ideal terroir for making dry white wines that have an intense mineral aroma and offer a perfectly balanced palate. The combination of knowledge and tradition, stretching back for nearly a century, has resulted in the creation of a complete selection of wines. Domaine Papagiannakos wines have earned a multitude of awards and hold a distinguished place on the list of the finest wines exported from Greece.

Cultivated in the sun-kissed Attican vineyards near Athens for over 4,000 years, Savatiano is Greece’s most historic indigenous white grape. Grown in limestone soils, from non-irrigated vines averaging 60 years of age, it produces wines of exceptional purity, character, and Mediterranean elegance.
