Georgos is the Greek word for ‘workers of the land’, and Donnas is the living testament to generations of heroic workers shaping and nurturing this harsh land with their bare hands.

Unusually Luciano bottles Georgos in 50cl and 100cl bottles; it is best aged so, it will age best in a 1ltr bottle, then again, if you must drink it early it will mature faster in a 50cl.  Genius!

The vines are grown on high pergolas of granite and wood, perched on dry-stone terraces, backfilled with sandy, morainic soils from the valley floor, enriched by generations of degraded organic matter. 

The grapes were picked in the last week of October and fermented in conical, temperature-controlled (28ºC) steel tanks for 40 days.  The wine was then matured for 2 years in Austrian oak botti*.
