Karamolegos family started their winemaking course in 1952, in Santorini. The art and passion for wine were inherited by Artemis Karamolegos, the grandson of the family, who continued to produce wine in a traditional way in a small winery in the village of Exo Gonia. For Vinsanto, the grapes come from selected vineyards in Pyrgos, Megalochori, Exo Gonia and Akrotiri. The grapes stay for 9-14 days under the hot sun of Santorini to dehydrate and concentrate the sugars, the acidity and the flavors. Then, the precious juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it ferments. The wine is then transferred to old French oak barrels of 225 and 500 liters and matures for at least 90 months.
