About Mavrotragano: An indigenous Santorini red grape once nearing extinction, Mavrotragano was revived in the 1990s and is now the islanda¢€š¬€ž¢s flagship red variety. Small, thick-skinned berries produce deeply colored, firmly structured wines with dark fruit, spice, and savory mineral nuances. On Santorinia¢€š¬€ž¢s phylloxera-free volcanic soils, low-yielding, wind-adapted bush vines deliver naturally high tannins and vibrant acidity, making the wines both distinctive and age-worthy. Domaine Sigalas is a leading champion of varietal Mavrotragano, crafting limited-production bottlings that showcase its purity and complexity.
