In 2000 the Agronomist and Professor of Viticulture Dr. Stefanos Koundouras began to study the ecosystems in the Arnea region for the purpose of setting up a 20-hectare vineyard in the regions of Arnea and Marathousa, on behalf of Claudia Papayianni. The objective was to produce high quality ‘terroir’ wines, which – according to Claudia’s philosophy – would reflect the characteristics of their place of origin and be based on the principles of organic farming.
