Siatista

Traditional products from Siatista are wine and fur. Wine reached a high point in Siatista when the French were buying it by the barrel late in the 19th and early in the 20th century to replace Bordeaux wine when the vineyards of France were devastated by phylloxera. In addition to Xynomavro, the variety grown in the region is the Moschomavro which is used as a base for sun-sweetened wine of Siatista.
