Between the Alpheus River and the slopes of Mount Lapitha, near Ancient Olympia, the brothers George, Konstantinos, and Dionysios of the Markogianni winery chose to take advantage of the region’s unique mesoclimatic conditions to establish the winery and vineyards in 1982. Moving to the present, the second generation of the estate, Antonia and Yiannis, with studies in oenology and viticulture, took over the estate with a primary goal of love and respect for nature. Their aim is to highlight indigenous varieties found in the own-rooted vineyards.
The vineyards are located near the valley of the Alpheus River, in the semi-mountainous Olympia region, characterized by a landscape of exceptional natural beauty, mainly composed of small hills, forest areas, olive groves, and vineyards.
This location creates a unique and rare microclimate, as the high temperatures of the rivers and the lower temperatures of the mountainous mass create a permanent breeze that contributes to the proper ripening of the grapes, giving them a special aromatic character.
The excellent climatic conditions, the clay-loam and sandy-clay soils, as well as the low yield per hectare, contribute to the personality of their wines.
The main grape varieties cultivated for white wine production are Assyrtiko, Roditis Alepou, and Asproudes, while for red and rosé wine production, the varieties are Kolliniatiko, Vertzami, Mandilaria, Mavrodaphne, and Refosco.
Having invested in natural resources and the organic cultivation of its vineyards, the Markogianni winery produces four low-intervention wines. In addition to quality wine production, it also produces double-distilled tsipouro using traditional copper stills and selected grape marc from its vineyards.
