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: Hat
Solid part (marc), composed of pips and skins (sometimes of the stalk), which forms at the top of the tank during fermentation. The pigeage consists in breaking this cap to put back in suspension these elements and to favour the exchanges between the juice and the skins.
