Producer

Markogianni

Markogianni Winery is a family business that has been active since 1982. Its main philosophy is respect for nature and the production of quality wines. In order to do so, the company's vineyards are cultivated organically and are certified by the DIO organization since 2001. In addition to their privately owned vineyards, the Markogianni Winery supplies grapes from selected vineyards in the greater area of Skillountia.

The mythical Alpheus River that separates Skillountia from Ancient Olympia has gifted the land with sandy loam soil and special climatic conditions, which are the parameters that seal and complete the personality of Markogianni wines.
