The effect of Pinus halepensis resin on the aromatic profile of Greek retsina

Retsina is a Greek white or rosé wine which has been made for at least 2000 years. It is produced by the traditional method of adding pine resin (species Pinus halepensis) into the must. It is protected by the Greek and European legislation as “Traditional Appellation” which is used exclusively for wines produced according to traditional methods of a specific area or country [1].
