Grape: Robola
Area of Production; Kefalonia, Greece
The Foivos winery evolved from the historic Mantzavino winery, one of the oldest in Greece. The winery was bought in 1996, and in 1999 Theodoros Orkopoulos produced his first vintages. The winery specializes in rare Greek varieties. The grapes are farmed organically and biodynamically, and Foivos also explores alternative winemaking practices such as fermentation in Amphora and ageing under water. This Robola is a terroir-driven wine and considering that many people believe Kefalonia to be the next Santorini, a one not to miss.
