Retsina is a traditional Greek wine known for its unique flavor, which is infused with pine resin. This practice dates back to ancient times when resin was used to seal wine vessels, preventing spoilage. The resin imparts a distinct aroma and taste, making Retsina easily recognizable among other wines. Typically made from Savvatiano or Roditis grape varieties, Retsina can be either white or rosé. It is often enjoyed chilled and pairs well with Mediterranean dishes, particularly seafood and meze. The wine's refreshing qualities and aromatic profile make it a popular choice in Greece and among wine enthusiasts worldwide.
