Retsina of Attica

The NV Retsina of Attica is produced in the Attica region of Greece, a historic area known for its traditional wine styles and Mediterranean climate that favors grape cultivation.

This Retsina is typically made from indigenous Greek grape varieties, primarily Savatiano, which is well-suited for the production of retsina wines.

The wine undergoes fermentation with the addition of Aleppo pine resin, a traditional method that imparts the characteristic pine aroma and flavor. The resin is added during fermentation to preserve the wine and provide its distinctive taste. The wine is then bottled without aging to maintain its fresh and aromatic profile.
