If it were food, it would belong to the Slow Food Movement. Everything that makes up this authentic, refined version of retsina comes from the surrounding area: an old, mountain vineyard of Roditis in Ano Diakopto, at 840 m, and a small addition of resin from the pines that surround this particular vineyard — an addition that functions more as a flavor of the place than as a dominant element. Even the amphorae used in winemaking are Greek. Retsina was born and developed in our country not by chance: it is the image of Greece in a glass, a style that connects the place with tradition. Retsina Amphore Nature is vinified with a philosophy of mild interventions, revealing perhaps the most elegant and ethereal version of the style. Lemon blossoms, citrus peels, dried herbs and notes of fresh pine unfold in the glass. In the mouth it is crystal clear, with mineral freshness, a fine resinous presence and a long aftertaste - one of the most elegant and refined resins of the new era.

More info

An old Roditis vineyard, 49 years old, from those wonderful cups that one finds scattered on the slopes of Aegialia. The combination of age, non-irrigation and altitude gives excellent raw material, with concentrated grapes and high natural acidity. Clay-limestone soils limit yields and enhance the structure and freshness of the wine. Fermentation takes place spontaneously, with native yeasts, in Greek clay amphorae of 200 liters. A small amount of natural resin is added (1 kg/1 tn), collected from the pines that surround the vineyard itself and which gives it its elegant, discreet dimension. The wine is bottled unfiltered, without clarification, with minimal addition of sulphites. Like any quality retsina, it has great versatility in eating. We would imagine her with an excellent country house and a slice of Kalavryta — so as not to distance ourselves from the place that gave birth to her.

Full of umami on the palate, minerality reminiscent of peat and shellfish, intense...
