In 1928, the Kontogeorgos family began its winemaking tradition when Serafeim Kontogeorgos planted the first vineyards in the semi-mountainous region of Atalanti.
Meanwhile, in 1935, Tasos Igglezos, from the other side of the family, also started grape cultivation. The initial vineyards were planted with Savvatiano and Roditis varieties.
From 1950 to 1995, the tradition was carried on by Vasilis Kontogeorgos, the father of the current owner, Makis Kontogeorgos.
