The wine region of Lefkada
PGI on the Ionian island of Lefkada (2000), limestone soils and a windy maritime climate, terraced vineyards. Vertzami is the autochthonous red king (~90% of plantings): near-black robe of rare intensity, full-bodied and structured with blackberry, black cherry, plum, Mediterranean herbs and a peppery note, firm tannins and ageing potential. Endemic Vardea is the fresh white king with citrus, apple and a floral touch, perfect with grilled fish.
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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
