Rare Liatiko grape by oenologist Iliana Malihin and vinegrower Spyros Chryssos. After tasting Βιδιανό - Ασύρτικο, I feared the worst, but it turned out to be consumable. Simple, with some spoiled character, but you can drink it. Forest berries, sweet cherry, and slate. So tannic that it's like licking sandpaper. Acidity? In the modern world, we need no acidity. Except for volatile acidity, of course. A wine to knock out your drinking partner. 15 abv! Holy molly!
