Aoton's Savatiano white is made from 100% Savatiano grapes, harvested from Aoton's organic vineyards of 1,65 hectares at Gonetses-Markopoulo and Fylakio-Peania, from a mix of vines planted in 1995 and 1996, which grow in soil made up of slightly alkaline clayey sand and are subject to the temperate Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters.

The grapes are hand-picked at night in the third week of September and carried to storage before sunrise, to maintain their freshness and low temperature. The stems are removed and they are concentrated in stainless steel tanks for skin contact, and stay there, with the help of refrigeration, for approximately 10 days, in order to start the alcoholic fermentation, by the indigenous, wild yeasts found on the fruit and in the vineyard. During this period, every 24 hours, 10% of the fermented grape must is collected from the bottom of the tank and transferred to the fermentation tank, and 10% of the freshly harvested grapes are added to the top of the tank. After the end of the fermentation, the fresh wine remains for 9 months with the fine lees.

A balanced and well-structured wine, that dazzles with its hints of oil, and notes of pear, stonefruit and citrus, as well as some umami from mushroom and earthiness.
