Central Greece

The viticultural interest of central Greece is mostly focused on the eastern areas which are favored by the virtues of the Aegean Sea and those are Fthiotida, Boeotia, Attica and Evia. The internationally known Retsina as also 22 more P.G.I. wines: Sterea Ellada, Valley of Atalanti, Opountia Lokrida, Slopes of Knimida, Thiva, Slopes of Kithairona, Karystos, Lilandio Pedio, Ritsona Avlida, Attikos, Anavyssos, Villiza, Northern Slopes of Penteliko, Martino, Gerania, Ilio, Koropi, Markopoulo, Paiania, Pallini, Slopes of Parnitha and Spata are produced under the hot and dry climatic conditions of Central Greece. The long history of that place testifies that the vine was always playing here a catalytic role. Today, in mountainous and lowland vineyards, where mediocre sea influences and the protective phalanx of mountains create a perfect terroir for the production of quality grapes, the great variety of soils and microclimates was supplemented by a remarkable variety of white and red, Greek and foreign grapes: Roditis, Assyrtiko, Athiri, Robola, Malagouzia, Savatiano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Sémillon, Limnio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc.
