List key inforamtion Central Greece Retsina/Retinitis Oenos TA ?
Retsina is the best-known wine from Greece: the main grape varietal is Savatiano with Rhoditis and Assyrtiko. There are three controlled appellations for Retsina TA, for which 20 percent of Retsina production qualifies. The main region is Attica, plus Viota and Evia, all of which are close to Athens. It is classified as a PGI. Most Retsina is white, 10 percent is rosé and a small amount is red. This wine has had resin from the Aleppo pine (best) added to it so that it is really an aromatized wine. Originally, when wine was stored in amphorae, these vessels were sealed with resin to prevent oxidation of the wine. It was thought that as the wine was better than unsealed wine, resin must contain some preservative qualities. Soon pine resin was added to the wine itself, and then to the must prior to fermentation. The Greeks became accustomed to this flavour and grew to like it. However the flavour of Retsina has very little appeal to Western European palates.
