Pliny's Spritz
Pliny's Spritz
In Ancient Rome, wine was sealed off from air using a pine resin, which left a distinct flavor. This resinated wine was the favorite of scholars such as Pliny the Elder. After the need for the pine resin, the flavor continued to be added to create a restina wine. Ousia, a soon-to-open Midtown Manhattan restaurant, uses the restina to make its Pliny's Spritz.
