Ktima Panagiotopoulou
Intro
Dimitris Panagiotopoulos, after many years of experience in other wineries, collaborated in 1982 with his father, an old viticulturist, to realize their shared dream: creating their own winery. The vision materialized in 2005 when the state-of-the-art winery was completed, producing wines with a distinct character and sense of place. The estate's philosophy is summarized in the phrase: "winemaking begins in the vineyard," with respect for the terroir and the application of ecological cultivation practices.
