2024 Sclavos "Vino di Sasso" Robola of Cephalonia Greece

Review Date: 07/2026

I visited Sclavos this past year and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Greece. The island of Cephalonia is a monstrous limestone monolith emerging from the Ionian sea. The fractured limestone that makes up the slopes of the vineyards is dramatic, and you always wonder why anyone would go to the trouble to try to grow anything on these treacherous hills. Thankfully they do, and it is this limestone soil that informs all of the wines of the region — but particularly the Vino di Sasso, which translates to "wine from stone." Made from Robola, it is a vibrant, mineral-driven white. Succulent, racy and dry, this is definitely one of the grapes that will challenge Assyrtiko for top dog once more wine drinkers become aware of it. Sclavos is one of the best producers on the island, so it's nice to drink something so special for such a reasonable price.

Notes

Sclavos, as a winery, has taken a wholistic approach to their winemaking and vineyard practices. Demeter certified, a robust diversity of flora and fauna in and around the vineyards plus low intervention techniques in the cellar are the practices they use to arrive at such a singularly mineral-driven style of whites and reds. "Vino di Sasso" or "Wine of Stone" is an apt name for this cuvée. When you examine the area of Cephalonia that the Sasso comes from, it is marked by its limestone soils which directly translate into the wine. No fining, no filtration and minimal sulfties and you have a pure expression of this emerging and noteworthy region. Biodynamic farming
