Charismatic, white, Greek variety of Nafpaktia that in 1970 approached the limits of extinction. The cultivated areas were increased in the 80s by winemakers with vision and today it is among the rising Greek varieties. White flowers and citrus characterize the aromas of the grapes that will produce high quality, medium acidity wines. In Greece, 4,700 ha are cultivated, with Fthiotida, Thessaloniki, Aitoloakarnania and Halkidiki being the most important areas of cultivation of the variety.
