Behind the wine and the grape from which it is born, the plant that nurtures it and the soil that hosts it, there's always a human being; a figure, a face which reveals the effort, labour, anticipation and occasional sorrow, but also the hope, joy, expectation and satisfaction of it all.
These faces are many and varied, male but also female, young or old, sometimes with a tired look but always with a spark, often impatient and striving; talkative but also silent faces, faces of grape-growers, winemakers, oenologists and of all those people whose fates are bound to Greek wine. They all recount their stories and, through their individual philosophy and approach, piece together the intricate mosaic of the Greek wine sector.
In the history of the ‘Old World’ of Europe, from which vine cultivation and the art of winemaking spread to all others, there is always a chapter, brief or extensive, that refers to Greece, which embraced wine and was the first to elevate winemaking to an art; a small country, which, across the centuries from antiquity to the present day, gave the world some of its most emblematic wines, whose names are written in gold letters in the book of history—a country, though, that eventually lost its continuity and was forced to start anew, almost from scratch.
