Producers and Wine Reviews about the "P.D.O. Mavrodafni Kefallonias (O.P.E.) / Μαυροδάφνη Κεφαλλονιάς"

Greek POP wine; see under Kefallonia.

The Greek island (also Kefallinia, Kephallonia, Zephalonia) covers an area of over 900 square kilometres and is the largest of the Ionian archipelago. The main town is Argostolion. Wine was already being grown here in Homer's time (8th century BC). Throughout its history, the island has been ruled by the Romans, Franks, Turks, Venetians, French and English. In 1953 there was a severe earthquake and almost half of the population left the island. In the 1980s, phylloxera appeared here for the first time and caused major problems.
