Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Vineyards at 150–300 m elevation, on calcareous, slightly alkaline, sloping, and well-drained soils.
• Rolling terrain creates a mesoclimate with cool summers and colder winters.
• Adequate sunshine without prolonged heat waves favours uniform grape ripening.
• The PGI is located in south-eastern Fthiotida, with a total vine-growing area of over 130 hectares.

• Human settlement in the area dates to the 2nd–3rd millennium BC, with a winemaking tradition attested by finds in the Archaeological Museum of Atalanti.
• Older estates use gobelet (cup) training, while newer vineyards follow single- or double-sided cordon systems.

• The hilly terrain shapes a mesoclimate with cooler summers and colder winters, lending a distinctive character to the wines.
