ambelonas Corfu

Just 500 meters from the crossroads that lead to Pelekas and Agios Ioannis in the direction of Pelekas before the hamlet of Karoubatika, in a green hill of 70.000 square meters is situated our vineyard (ambelonas in Greek). In a natural environment amongst the local wild vegetation and in just 18.000 sq meters we have planted local varieties of vines mainly Kakotrigis (white) and Scopelitico (red).
