The wine region of Letrina
PGI of western Peloponnese (Ilia district, municipalities of Iardanos and Pyrgos, PGI 1993, vineyards tempered by Ionian proximity). Refosco signature red — first planting and cultivation of this Friulian Italian variety in Greece, now extended to other zones, structured profile with red fruits and spiced notes. Agiorgitiko, Mavrodafni, Merlot and Syrah as complementary reds. Distinctive red specialisation, identity of ancient Elis.
The wine region of Peloponnesos
Southern Greece, the country's 2nd region by volume, high-altitude vineyards (200-900 m). Signature Agiorgitiko at Nemea ("Hercules' Blood"): deep ruby reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, sweet spices and a balsamic touch, supple tannins and a velvety palate — fleshy and accessible. At Mantinia (600 m), pink-skinned Moschofilero gives aromatic whites (rose, citrus, white flowers). Sweet fortified Mavrodaphne, fresh Roditis.
The word of the wine: Rosé (champagne)
Unique rosé wine made by blending white wine with a small amount of red Champagne. It is however possible to vinify the must directly into rosé.
