WINE DESCRIPTION
Tsantali Retsina is a distinctive and traditional Greek wine, produced by the Tsantali family, a name synonymous with dedication to quality and innovation in Greek viticulture for over a century. Retsina is a unique type of wine that has been made in Greece for thousands of years, known for its characteristic addition of pine resin during the fermentation process. This practice dates back to ancient times, when wine was stored and transported in pine-sealed vessels, imparting a resinous aroma and flavor to the wine. Tsantali Retsina is made from grapes grown in the sunny vineyards of Greece, where the Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, is ideal for producing wines with rich flavors and aromas. The Tsantali family carefully selects the finest grapes and combines them with natural pine resin, which is then skillfully integrated during the winemaking process to create a Retsina that balances tradition with a modern touch.
