The outstanding quality of the wines of Siatista is owed to the stony soils in which the vines are cultivated in the region.
Human factors
The celebrated sun-dried wine of Siatista is produced from a variety of red muscat grapes, which the producers sun-dry for up to two months before vinification.
The vineyard area of Siatista has been drastically reduced from 15,000 stremma in the past to fewer than 2,000 stremma today, owing to phylloxera and the local population's shift toward the fur trade.
Product characteristics
The sun-dried wine is produced from a blend of white and red grapes exposed to the sun or left in a covered vessel, yielding a white, sweet wine of considerable body and high-quality flavour.
