Our history<\/h2>\n

(1946 - 1962)<\/p>\n

<\/div>

<\/p>\n

The Katsikostas family<\/strong> wine history begins back in 1946 when the grandfather Luke Katsikostas started producing wine from the indigenous varieties found in Aigialeia<\/strong>, Achaia region of Peloponnese. The wines, produced with the scarce means of the time, were vinified and then stored in wooden barrels in the underground cellars of the family’s wine shop in the port of Aigio.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At that time, the port of Aigio was the center of commerce and export trade for the PDO “Vostitsa”<\/strong> dry black raisins of the region known for their high quality worldwide. Workers, merchants, locals, people from the area or others coming a long way would visit the family wine shop – delicatessen to rest and taste the delicious food and wine.<\/p>\n
