History & Geography
Dimitris Hatzimichalis love for vine and wine culture, inspired him to buy his first 9 hectares in Atalanti Valley in 1973. The selection of this land was based on the unique microclimate that exists in the area. The cool breezes of Mount Parnassus and the Sea aura of the Eubean gulf meet and form an ideal ecosystem for the growing of wine grape vines, acting like a natural air-conditioning. These characteristics along with the viticulture tradition of Atalanti, convinced him to invest in this land and fulfill his dreams. The story behind the turkey.. The first years, were not easy and Dimitris created a farm where he would breed turkeys, which helped him support his first vineyards expenses. The nestling turkeys were imported from Canada in early September and where breeded for he traditional Christmas table. With the belief that vineyards require a lot of care to be fruitful, he invested all the money he earned from the turkeys’ breeding and selling in them.
