  • From the specification: Regional PGI for Central Greece (Sterea Ellada): still white, red and rosé (ερυθρωπός) wines dry to sweet; white and red liqueur wines (fortified, from must of at least 12 % vol natural strength) and liastos (dried grapes, no additions), both from Attica vineyards. Varieties may be used in any proportion: white include Aidani, Athiri, Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Roditis, Savvatiano, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc; red include Agiorgitiko, Limnio, Mandilaria, Xinomavro, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah; liqueur and liastos grapes are recorded against the white/red lists by colour or both. Vineyard minimum altitude differs by area: above 30 m in Attica, 10 m in Euboea, 20 m in Phthiotis, 350–650 m in the named Phocis districts (lowest recorded). Yields are left to the ministerial decisions for the component PDO/PGI wines. Wines must be made in wineries with modern equipment; white and rosé fermentation not above 20 °C; sweetening permitted for semi-dry and sweeter wines.
