		The Assyrtiko adapts well to different soil types and is known for having both high alcohol and high acidity, a trait uncommon for whites from the mediterranean.
		Two distinct styles are widely sold: an intense and dry version with notes of citrus fruits and minerals, and a sweet version sold as Visanto where the grapes are dried in the sun before fermentation thus creating a wine closer in character to a tawny port than to a botrytised wine.
		Wines from Santorini are very robust and earthy, while Assyrtiko from other points in Greece are more perfumed and floral.
