Agiorgitiko is the only grape grown in which AOC?

• A. Nemea AOC
• B. Inari AOC
• C. Naoussa AOC
• D. Patras AOC

Answer: (A)

Agiorgitiko is closely tied to Nemea, where the red wines are defined by this grape. The Nemea AOC’s rules and traditional practice emphasize red wines made from Agiorgitiko, so the appellation is effectively built around a single grape in its red category. That focus on Agiorgitiko sets it apart from the other regions listed, which are associated with different grapes or with blends that don’t center on Agiorgitiko. For example, Naoussa is renowned for Xinomavro, not Agiorgitiko, and the other two regions produce wines from other varieties as their representatives.
