Zivania or zivana (Greek: ζιβανία, ζιβάνα[1] Turkish: Zivaniya[2]) is a Cypriot pomace brandy produced from the distillation of a mixture of grape pomace and local dry wines made from Xynisteri and Mavro grapes.[3] The name of zivania is derived from zivana (Greek: ζίβανα) which means pomace in the Greek dialect of Cyprus. Zivania is colourless and alcoholic with a light aroma of raisins. Its alcohol content varies, with 45% by volume being the typical value. As defined by law,[4] zivania cannot have more than 60% alcohol content. Zivania contains no sugar and has no acidity.
