Founded in 2014, Vassaltis was born from Yannis Valambous’ decision to leave a successful career as an economist in London and return to his family’s vineyards on Santorini in the wake of the 2010 Greek financial crisis. Inspired by childhood summers on the island and a deep respect for its winemaking heritage, Yannis set out to craft wines that both honour Santorini’s traditions and express the exceptional quality of its grapes. Together with winemakers Elias Roussakis and Yannis Papaeconomou, he transformed the vineyards he inherited from his father into a modern, boutique estate, united by a shared ambition to show that Santorini—and a new generation of Greek producers—can create world-class wines with international resonance.

This Assyrtiko is the winery's signature expression of this most noble of grapes and was the first wine ever created by the team. 

Layered and complex aromas open with flint, wet stone, and a touch of sea salt, woven together with ripe yellow fruits, peach, and honey, alongside subtle notes of fresh bread. The palate reveals seamless interplay between vigorous acids and well-defined, rounded fruit, adding contrast between the wine’s rich, textural character and its sharper saline edge. A beautifully expressed rendition with long lasting intrigue. 

Perfectly paired with seafood and fish prepared in any style—grilled, fried, or steamed.

Cordero San Giorgio is a new beginning in Oltrépo-Pavese for three siblings who grew up surrounded by their family’s vines at the legendary Vietti Estate in Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. The siblings Francesco, Lorenzo, and Caterina Cordero, are grandchildren of Luciana Vietti & Alfredo Currado, one of the pioneers of the first Barolo crus and considered the “father of Arneis.” Their father is Mario Cordero, Alfredo and Luciana’s son-in-law, who was the company’s co-owner from the beginning of the ‘80s until 2016 when it was sold.

The Oltrepò Pavese is a hilly triangle of land in Lombardy, embraced by Piedmont, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna. A territory dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the culture of wine for centuries: a land of both cultural and gastronomic encounter and exchange. Cordero San Giorgio is in the town of Santa Giuletta, and focuses on working with Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.

Made from selected plots located in Santa Giuletta and Roca de' Giorgi, this Chardonnay ferments in stainless steel tanks and sees no malolactic fermentation. As fermentation finishes, half of the wine is racked into wooden barrels, where it ages for about six months.

The wine opens up as fresh and fragrant, with a bouquet of citrus notes, tropical fruit and white flowers. It is vibrant with a pleasant acidity balanced by the savoury and mineral finish.
