Santorin : la vigne incroyable qui pousse sur un volcan | Des vignes et des hommes

Discover the unique vineyards of Santorini, where vines have been growing for over 3,500 years in harsh volcanic soil. On this Greek island, winemakers use a fascinating ancestral technique: the kouloura, a vine woven into a basket shape to withstand strong winds and protect the grapes. The result: exceptional wines like Vinsanto, Nykteri, and Thalassitis, true legacies of ancient Greece. On the island of Santorini, a jewel of the Cyclades in Greece, a vine with a surprising shape has thrived for millennia. It grows on a crust of ash from a volcanic eruption 3,500 years ago, remaining one of the few plants capable of withstanding the poor soil and the fierce sea winds. Here, the vine creeps along the ground: winemakers weave it into baskets or nests to protect the precious grapes. These vines possess exceptional longevity. It is, in fact, one of the only vineyards in the world to have completely survived phylloxera thanks to its volcanic soil. Today, this unique terroir preserves its ancestral cultivation methods and produces wines that are a true legacy of Antiquity. A pure product of the volcano and the sea. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:21 - Santorini, the island of fire and wine ▷ 02:42 - Wine of the sea: "Thalassitis" ▷ 04:15 - Exceptional vineyards born from volcanic eruptions ▷ 06:43 - "Kouloura", a unique cultural heritage ▷ 08:29 - The harvest season ▷ 10:50 - The guardian of ancestral techniques and traditions ▷ 13:27 - Archaeological discoveries about ancient viticulture ▷ 17:26 - "Wine of the night" ▷ 19:23 - "Nykteri": a wine of excellence steeped in history ▷ 22:44 - The Vinsanto, the sweet wine with roots in ancient Greece ▷ 25:31 - Credits #documentary #wine #greece #santorini #vineyard #environment #agriculture #nature #terroir #wocomoFRENCH #fulldocumentary ------- Subscribe to the channel: https://goo.gl/4bVtZk Follow us on Facebook:   / wocomo   ------- The product of history, a natural setting, and the work of humankind, each vineyard tells the story of its own unique civilization.
