Santalo is not just a wine from a special vineyard; it is also a unique vineyard at an altitude of 830m, where many different varieties are planted (field blend), as was traditionally the case in old vineyards. From this small plot, the Kotsifalia grapes for Santalos are separated from the other varieties and vinified 100% whole bunch, with the entire...
The fruit for Orange Muscat comes from the privately owned autirio vineyard, at least 50 years old, which gives very low yields and is cultivated with biodynamic and organic practices. The harvest takes place in the first half of August. The health and maturity of the grapes is a key factor in the subsequent maceration with the skins, which takes place in...
Produced from Moschatela grapes grown on the Paliki peninsula of Kefalonia, the wine begins its journey with destemming and gentle crushing of the grapes. The resulting grape must, including the skins, is transferred into 700L French clay amphorae. Maceration takes place during alcoholic fermentation, which lasts approximately 30 days and is carried out...
The Jura region remains faithful to its traditions, producing wines that delight connoisseurs, with their oxidative character being their main feature. Tissot's Savagnin Sous Voilé is an extremely interesting wine, with mild oxidation, aged for 32 months in 228-liter barrels without complete filling and always with Tissot's philosophy of minimal...
Stylish and extremely complex on the nose, notes of ripe lemon and citrus jam, freshness of mint and pompous mineral character along with tobacco. On the palate there is the classic - a la Chablis - rigour but with dense texture and depth of fruit, in a yin-yang type of interconnection that leads to perfect balance. The tensions on the palate testify to...
Etna Bianco was first put into production in 2005 and Carricante is the dominant variety in the blend with a percentage of 70% depending on the year. Carricante is a grape defined by the minerality and saltiness of the terroir. A feast of other field-blends such as Catarratto, Grecanico and Inzolia make up the rest of the wine. Etna's whites are still...
Patchwork comes from five different vines with the oldest of them planted in 1962. Fermentation is spontaneous and maturation takes place in 228lt French barrels, 10% of which are new. Burgundian style, closer to the nerve of a Puligny-Montrachet, with expressive fruit around a core of tobacco, yeast and minerality. Medium-bodied, elegant and lacy on the...
DD is a tribute to Andre Tissot, Stephane's father, known by the nickname DD, and reflects a traditional Jura winemaking style. The Pinot Noir is harvested whole and undergoes three weeks of semi-carbonic maceration in conical wooden vats, while the Poulsard (25%) and Trousseau (40%) are destemmed by hand and ferment spontaneously. They are aged for three...
En Spois is one of the single-vineyard Vin Jaune wines produced by Tissot and comes from Savagnin grapes grown on clay soils from the Triassic period with eastern exposure. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged for 6 years in old barrels without filling in an oxidative manner. Aging takes place in 60% warmer and...
Phelloe Nature comes from a single, organic 3-acre vineyard in the mountain village of Phelloe (Seliana), in eastern Aegialia. The partially ungrafted vines, planted in limestone and clayey rocky soils, yield low yields per acre and extremely concentrated grapes. Vinification is carried out by spontaneous fermentation in open tanks, manual pigeage and two...
