And to recount this story the ideal era of this ancient vineyard has Spyros Metaxas has sviluppato its very precious brandy with a fragrant note of uva moscato dolce, a specialty of the terroir of Samos.
This is the traditional villaggio of Vourliotes, 800 m from the sea and along the tramontana, the vineyard extends to the valley below the mountain slopes. This product has been created in a state of the art format and can be positioned correctly in a terrace in the manner in which it is planted.
The proposal of K-Studio, Battezzata Liknon, combines passage and exploration following a percorso longo and ripe of pietra verso verso paesaggio dei vigneti. In order to create a unique building as a museum, gli architects hanno punteggiato la valle terrazzata con strutture che traggono spirazione dalla presistent topografia, per guidare i vistotori atraverso un'esperienza insieme organizzata e spontanea, ricca di stimoli sensoriali.
Exploring the various aspects of the vineyard, in the product process in the tasting room, visit it if you want to be tapped and to be enjoyed. Prima tappa: “Topos” (“luogo” in Greek), an attraction in mezzo and matured in stone, reinterpretazione of the presistent performances of the colleagues and subsequent terrazzamenti. Attracting a deeper square in the path, the visitor comes to the port on the ground, entering into a thicker space of clay. There you can see a spaccato of the earth catching a glimpse of the rivets that quickly crescendo, the radiant slab has rami and all the foglie.
The second phase of the pastry, “Chronos” (“tempo” in Greek), obviously requires the ingredient to be ripened in the ripening process before harvesting. This is why it is translated into a Metaxa canteen so that the spirit of the future matures in the rover's body for many years to be loved by one. I can taste the wine in its various stages of evolution over time, depending on the variety of its aromatic and taste characteristics, which are freshly fermented by the wine.
The ultimate tap is at the Metaxa Bar, a place where you can taste the best distillation from the market. The preparation of Samos is generously served on the terrace to complete the experience, with the pergolato thought intrecciato con viti che mostra la più ampia cultura dell'artigianato e della convivialità che permea lo spirito Metaxa.
