Assyrtiko: A wine that turns a summit into a dinner among friends

This is the story of a great passion shared by two professionals—both well established in fields far removed from winemaking. A civil engineer, Yannis Papadopoulos, and an architect, Yannis Kalaitzidis, decided in 1993 to cultivate 26 hectares of land in Thrace. The sandy-clay soils are protected by Mount Pangaion, where the Ancients once worshipped Dionysus.

Assyrtiko: a wine that turns a summit into a dinner among friends

For this wine line, the label design reflects how the vineyards were meticulously planted—aligned along sun-facing slopes and positioned to avoid late frosts. This planning ensures the grapes express the full character of the soil and the climate.

The label is printed on barrier-coated pearlescent wine paper in an off-white cream shade, ideal for refrigerated wines and resistant to moisture and fogging. Geometric patterns are enhanced with satin gold and silver foil. A velvety black soft-touch panel visually divides the label, while Braille embossing on the wine’s name underscores its identity with tactile clarity.
