The wine region of Evia
Greek PGI on the island of Euboea (Greece's 2nd largest, facing Athens), Mediterranean climate freshened by Aegean breezes. Savatiano dominates (~80% of plantings): dry and light with citrus, green apple, Mediterranean herbs and a honeyed touch, fresh acidity, surprising ageing potential. Assyrtiko for tension, Malagousia for florals, Athiri in whites. Vradiano is the native red: fruity and spiced, complemented by Agiorgitiko and Cabernet.
The wine region of Continental Greece
Vast region of central Greece (Attica, Boeotia, Euboea, Phocis. ), ~1/3 of national output.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
