Worth knowing about this exceptional sweet wine:
“Liastos” (in English 'the dried') is a blend of local
grapes that sun-dry (7 days in the shadow and 2 days into direct sunlight), giving us a concen-trated juice with density of aromas and taste. The wine has been aged in 225lt oak barrels for 12 months
This wine has an excel-lent bottle-ageing potential that can overpass 10 years.
