The wine region of Corfu
Ionian PGI (1996) on the island of Corfu facing Albania, mild and unusually rainy climate for Greece, limestone and marl soils. Kakotrygis is the ancestral signature autochthon (≥60%, cited by Thucydides c. 400 BC) and king white: pale yellow robe, lively and aromatic with citrus, white flowers, tropical fruits and a Mediterranean herbal touch. Petrokoritho as a complementary white.
The wine region of Ionian Islands
Greek PGI of the Ionian Sea islands (Corfu, Cephalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Lefkada, Kythira), temperate maritime climate. Robola of Cephalonia is the indigenous signature white — taut and mineral with bright citrus, lemon, green apple, white flowers and a flint-saline note from limestone altitude (Mount Ainos), brilliant acidity. Golden Muscat and Mavrodaphne as sweet fortified historical cuvées. Rare indigenous Vostilidi, Tsaousi and Zakynthino as complements.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
