The wine region of Ionian Islands
Greek PGI of the Ionian Sea islands (Corfu, Cephalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, Lefkada, Kythira), temperate maritime climate. Robola of Cephalonia is the indigenous signature white — taut and mineral with bright citrus, lemon, green apple, white flowers and a flint-saline note from limestone altitude (Mount Ainos), brilliant acidity. Golden Muscat and Mavrodaphne as sweet fortified historical cuvées. Rare indigenous Vostilidi, Tsaousi and Zakynthino as complements.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
