Fine ageing potential. The absolute star of Santorini PDO on the volcanic soils of the Cyclades (vines trained in kouloura baskets to protect against wind).

Greek PGI (1989) around Thebes in Boeotia (~3,400 ha), clay-limestone soils on the cool slopes of Mount Kithairon. Savatiano is the dominant autochthonous white signature: dry and taut with intense notes of citrus, stone fruit, white flowers and a mineral touch, vinified dry or as resinous Retsina. Aromatic Roditis as complement. Mouhtaro, an autochthonous red with red fruits and a spicy touch.
