The wine “Riza tou Vounou (In the Root of the Mountain)” comes from selected vineyards in the root of the mountain “Vraxionas” in the semi-mountainous village of Zakynthos, Lagopodo. From the time when the Venetians prevailed on the island (1485) in their short stories they reported the excellent quality of wine from that area.
