Kydonitsa and Assyrtiko grapes were handpicked respectively early September and late August, subsequently destemmed and crushed, then skilfully fermented at low temperature in stainless steel tanks and left to mature on the lees for 4 months.
Our tasting impressions
This is a well-balanced dry white wine with bright freshness, minerality and an aromatic finish. It is characterised by an intense, expressive nose and palate with precise aromas and flavours of lemon blossom, quince, citrus and lime.
Serving suggestions

The Syrah and Agiorgitiko grapes were handpicked respectively in the middle of August and September, and immediately destemmed and crushed . One week of cold-extraction preceded fermentation in inox and, after a long maceration, the wine matured in French oak barrels for 1 year.
Our tasting impressions
This is a full-bodied red wine with a dark gravitas of ripe berry and cherry. It is typified by its profusely perfumed nose of violets and sweet cedar wood, and a palate packed with lasting flavours of fruit, chocolate and soft tannins.
Serving suggestions
Dialogos Red is ready to drink now but will age gracefully for 10 to 15 years. It teams up well with red meat with hearty sauces or simply grilled, pot roast, game and hard cheeses.

The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were picked at the end of August. The manual harvest yielded a small crop of 2500 to 4000 kg/ha. The destemmed and crushed grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks, and after a prolonged maceration period, the wine reposed in new French oak barrels for 15 months.
Our tasting impressions
This is a bold red wine wreathed in red currant and raspberry flavours, with firm tannins and an exuberant finish. It entices with a spicy nose and a pleasant whiff of cigar-box wood and tobacco. The palate is rich, complex and chockfull of red fruit typical for the variety.
Serving suggestions
Trilogia is a vin-de-garde, and ages 15 to 25 years. It pairs perfectly with roasted meat, rotisserie, cold cuts and smoked cheeses.

The Malbec grapes were manually harvested during the beginning of August and immediately destemmed and crushed. The wine fermented in stainless steel tanks with a long extraction period and it was left to mature for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Our tasting impressions
This is a full-bodied red wine that boasts a generous nose of blackberry, plum and a floral whisper of violet, and wonderfully integrated subtle aromas of vanilla, cedar and milk chocolate. The palate is rich with robust tannins wrapped around natural freshness, underpinning the long length of velvety black fruit.
Serving suggestions
Monologos is ready to be enjoyed now but will age gracefully for 10 to 15 years. It pairs well with red meat with spicy sauces or simply grilled, leaner beef cuts and a board of hard cheeses.

[post_content] => The Kononeiki olives from the estate's original grove were collected during the end of October and beginning of November and immediately cold-pressed.
The resulting extra virgin olive oil perfectly captures the classical Greek tradition. Its intense taste is a harmony of persistent fruity and delicate herbal aromas and flavours, all balanced with pungency and very low acidity content.
Oil is a living produce and ours has a recommended shelf life of 18 months from bottling. It springs to life at the table alongside fresh bread, in salads and many other Mediterranean dishes.

INSPIRATION
“In our unrelenting quest for wine excellence, we discovered a very special vineyard, which sprawls grandly over two opposite slopes amidst the wild landscape of the dramatic Peloponnesian peninsula.
Here, at the estate we now call Ktima Dio Ipsi, we aspire to craft distinct Greek wines of world-class quality that are intrinsically linked to this generous land, its glorious past and the character of its people.”
Nestled in an unspoiled valley in the prefecture of Ilia, in the northwest part of the Peloponnese, lays the organic vineyard of Ktima Dio Ipsi, a name inspired by its distinctive topography which means Two Heights Estate.
Situated on the site of ancient Ilida opposite the island of Zakynthos, this unique vineyard rolls like a wave over two facing slopes with different altitudes. The soil type is a mix of sand, limestone and clay with a high content of shells, which affirms that this land rose from the sea millions of years ago.
ESTATE
Ktima Dio Ipsi consists of a privately owned organic vineyard of 14,5 hectares.
Native Kydonitsa, Assyrtiko, Agiorgitiko, Mavrodaphne, Vertzami, and international Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec vines cling to steep slopes. Entrusted to man’s care, they thrive here thanks to the benign Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers, tempered by the sea breeze.
The vineyard and the surrounding old olive grove are an extraordinary concentrate of natural beauty and generosity. It is an infinite inspiration for the making of distinctive estate wines and extra virgin olive oil pressed from the Koroneiki cultivar.
HISTORY
In 1990, Christos Kokkalis, a pharmacist by profession and true lover of good wine, planted a small vineyard with mainly Cabernet Sauvignon in the area of Agios Andreas in Ilia. He made the iconic Trilogia wine, a label that received international acclaim.
Years later, in 2014, renowned winemakers Vangelis Gerovassiliou and Vassilis Tsaktsarlis of Biblia Chora took over the estate, just as Kokkalis had wished for, with the intent to make typical, characterful wines of top-notch quality. After its acquisition, the estate was christened Ktima Dio Ipsi.
Today, Ktima Dio Ipsi consists of an organic vineyard of 14,5 hectares of vine plantings and the original 2 hectares olive grove. Ktima Dio Ipsi produces the estate wines DIALOGOS White and Red, MONOLOGOS as well as the legendary TRILOGIA label in tribute to its inspirer, Christos Kokkalis.
