Terra Grazia

Cantina e Vini

The Estate is located in the village of Kato Sangri, in one of the most fertile areas of Naxos, at a distance of 11 kilometres from Chora.
Here, on a plateau at an altitude of approximately 350 meters, ideal microclimate conditions prevail for the development of the Estate’s vineyard.
We have our roots in mountainous Naxos.
The values of our family, centred around love for nature and fellow humans, have shaped our philosophy of life and work.
We work passionately to honour our island and continue the traditions of our land, contributing to the promotion of its natural wealth and the production of high-quality products.
At the heart of the Estate stands the magnificent Della Rocca-Grazia Tower, a 13th century Venetian fortress and one of the Sagri region’s most significant landmarks.
The tower boasts battlements, a characteristic dovecote at its peak and surrounding precincts, including a Venetian- style alley leading to a well and bakehouse, as well as the church of Agios Nikolaos of Tolentino.
Since 2004, we have been dedicated to the restoration of the Tower and its annexes, with the primary goal of reviving the old vineyard. Our objective is to interact with nature by following the principles of biodynamic agriculture, which we apply to the vineyard, and to contribute high-quality labels to the culinary map of the island.

The vines are planted in traditional terraces, forming a low-trunk linear shape with dense planting along the line.
The cultivation is entirely organic and follows the principles of circular economy, utilizing all the by-products of the vineyard and winery as organic fertilizers.
Additionally, the avoidance of chemical fertilizers and the absence of irrigation ensure the sustainable management of natural resources and biodiversity, minimizing carbon and water footprint.
The dominant variety is the iconic Assyrtiko, which in the environment of Naxos expresses a more “earthy” character of its unique aromatic profile, in a special blend with the white Aidani and the Monemvasia, two of the finest white varieties of the Cycladic vineyard.
The red varieties are shared between the Fokiano, a variety with a particularly strong presence throughout the island, complemented ideally by the abundant Mavrotragano and the more “rebellious” Mandilaria.
At the same time, great effort is made for the rescue, propagation, planting, study and promotion of local grape varieties in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, with the aim of gradually incorporating them into the winery’s product range.
