Kidonitsa (ke-doh-ne-tsa h): and Petroulianos (pe h-trol -ya h-no hs) are two rare varieties with a remarkable character and individuality, indigenous to the region of Lakonia (Sparta). Winemaker Yianni Vatistas was the first to discover them. Vatistas cultivates both of them in the same vineyardThey are nevertheless different. Petroulianos, which means stone, has a lot of minerals and it tastes like stones: “clear and crisp, with a sea-salt tang”. Kidonitsa means the diminutive of quince and has a lot of fruit substance.

Savatiano (sah-vah-te-ah-noh): is a very old, possibly ancient cultivar. Recent analysis of its precursors suggests that it is one of the most fragrant Greek varieties with citrus fruits and flowers. The vine, in order to express thick characteristic must be restricted to yields as low as forty hectoliters per hectare. Savatiano was largely used for the production of the famous Greek resinated wine Retsina.
