Retsina of Mesogia
Retsina of Mesogia is the PGI designation for the Attica Mesogeia plain, where Savvatiano grapes are fermented with a controlled addition of Aleppo pine resin. The result is a dry white with a distinctive resinous, herbal note that softens with the dish it was historically paired with — seafood and meze. PGI status codifies resin sourcing and dosage.
Dry resinous white; herbal, saline, food-specific tradition
