Its origins trace back over 2,000 years, when ancient winemakers used pine pitch to seal wine amphorae and prevent oxidation. This practice imparted a characteristic aroma and taste, which over time became a valued and intentional style rather than a byproduct of preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"443\" data-start=\"421\"\u003eRetsina Production Process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"738\" data-start=\"445\"\u003eRetsina is typically made from indigenous Greek grape varieties, most commonly \u003cstrong data-end=\"537\" data-start=\"524\"\u003eSavatiano\u003c\/strong\u003e, sometimes blended with \u003cstrong data-end=\"575\" data-start=\"562\"\u003eAssyrtiko\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong data-end=\"590\" data-start=\"579\"\u003eRoditis\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The solids are then removed before bottling, leaving behind a subtle, resinous character—often described as herbal, piney, or eucalyptus-like, balancing the acidity and fruit of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1327\" data-start=\"1062\"\u003eModern retsina, especially from quality producers, showcases a refined expression of this ancient style, offering a dry, crisp profile with citrus notes, salinity, and a touch of forest-like freshness.
