A retsina reborn, bright, aromatic, and full of mythic charm. Pitys Ritinitis shimmers with notes of apricot, tangerine zest, and white blossom, gracefully entwined with the herbal, resinous perfume of pine and mastiha. On the palate, it’s crisp and vivid, with Assyrtiko’s hallmark acidity carrying layers of citrus, wild herbs, and a delicate whisper of frankincense on the finish. There’s a tension here between freshness and tradition, a wine that feels both ancient and strikingly modern.

For when: You want a taste of Greece that feels like sea air and sunshine through the pines.
Pairs with: Grilled sea bream, calamari, or spicy Asian dishes that love a little resin-scented lift.

At 640 metres on the high plateau of Mantinia, Troupis Winery crafts wines that bridge innovation and tradition with a distinctly Greek heartbeat. With Pitys Ritinitis, the family pays homage to one of the world’s oldest winemaking practices, with the use of pine resin to protect and perfume the wine, reimagined through the lens of the noble Assyrtiko grape. Fermented with minimal intervention and sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Katarrachia, this is Retsina elevated: elegant, precise, and utterly expressive of both land and legacy.
