Official tasting notes.
The nose is beautifully balsamic and sparkling. In the mouth a fantastic mix of dried fruit, almonds and toasted pistachio. We enjoy the smell of the sea, mysterious and majestic in the east, which is carried by the summer breeze

Chewy and complex, it drinks beyond its ABV offering many layers complimented by the fruity sweetness and a subtle spice of wheat.

Samaroli comments on what inspired this expression and label:
“Here we are mixing malts and wheat feeling just like the Architects of days gone by. The label pays tribute to Protagoras, Socrates Assagora and all the greats of ancient Greece, directed by the ruling architect himself; Pericles”.
