The varieties planted and cultivated at this time in the area, not a few, show that Drama is a gifted area of interest, individual microclimates, able to show foreign varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Grenache, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, Semillon, Ugni Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and many local varieties such Roditi, Assyrtiko, Limnio, Athiri. The decree of 1991 consolidated the production of local wines Drama, and shortly afterwards followed the Adriani and Local Wine Market.
