Producers and Wine Reviews about the "P.D.O. Siteia (O.P.A.P.) / Σητεία"

Appellation in the district of Lasithi in the east of the Greek island of Crete, which is named after the coastal town of the same name. Sitia is one of the four POP areas of the island; west of it in the centre are the areas of Archanes, Dafnes and Peza.Archaeological finds prove that the island has been inhabited since about 1050 B.C.

It is the centre of the region which is characterized by extensive olive growing. The red wine is blended from the autochthonous varieties Liatiko (zum. 80%) and Mandilaria (max. 20%) and matured dry or sweet. The white wine is produced from the autochthonous varieties Vilana (zum. 70%) and Thrapsathiri (max. 30%) and vinified dry.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
