Natural terroir wine

Created by Mother Nature.
With the kind cooperation of Zagreus Natural Wine Fellows

Santimenti from Zagreus Winery expresses the desire and the strive of the wine makers to return to the original, primary, untamed and pure character of the wine, which the terroir and the nature gift us.

SANTIMENTI Dimyat & Rkatsiteli | Vin Nature is characterized by its unique naturalness and liveliness. A natural and terroir wine made with minimum intervention in order to preserve and strengthen the authentic characteristics of the grape variety.

evolve naturally without any manipulation. The wine matures in glass demijohns until the end of April. No clarification and filtration at any stage of its production. Before bottling, a maximum of 35 mg/l of sulphites are added.
*By natural wines up to 40 mg/l of sulphites are allowed.
