Nature & Art Raki is a Naxian alcoholic drink that is made by distilling grape pomace, which is what remains of grapes after the wine making process. Raki produced by Nature & Art is a local, clear drink, which, just like all the other types of Greek raki, derives its name from the Ancient Greek word rax, meaning grape. Kazanemata or chatzanemata is what the Naxians call the raki making process (kazani means cauldron). They are characterized by their ritual and they last for two months, October and November.
