A Hobby Turned into a Full-Fledged Winery
In the late 1950s, Evangelos Averoff began cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon on the steep slopes of Mount Pindus, becoming Greece's first viticulturist to grow this grape variety. After his initial vintage, he established a small winery that gained international acclaim and numerous awards, setting a high standard for quality wines. Following Evangelos’ passing in 1990, Sotiris Ioannou took over the winery, expanding the vineyards and implementing modern techniques while honoring the founder's vision.
Vineyards Nestled on the Slopes of Mount Pindus
The vineyards of Katogi Averoff are situated in a stunning landscape, part of the brown-bear habitat in Metsovo. The winery cultivates a diverse range of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Traminer, and Syrah, alongside indigenous varieties like Vlachiko, Gudaba, and Pyknoassa. Alexander Ioannou, the grandson of Evangelos Averoff, oversees vineyard operations, focusing on reviving ancient grape varieties and enhancing wine tourism in the region.
