Destination Nemea (video)

Η Nemea, the historic city of Antiquity, which is reasonably characterized “Greek Tuscany", Is located between mountains that surround it and almost hide it. Here lies the largest concentrated Greek vineyard area of ​​25.000 acres and the most important and most popular local red variety, Agiorgitiko, is cultivated. The image of the landscape gives the impression of an intricate mosaic, architecturally quite anarchic, and not monotonous and architecturally uniform as is the case in vineyards of northern Europe.

One of its features vineyard of Nemea is that anarchy prevails in the orientation of the lines, with the main cause being the fragmented clergy and the morphology of the soils.

The trip to Nemea is a trip to the myth, with Hercules completing his first feat by defeating the lion of Nemea and the nymph offering him a glass of wine with the "black of Nemea".

Nemea obviously does not need to create new myths about its wine, because it is a myth that has its roots deep in the lands of the region.

For the last 30 years, an orgasm has prevailed in Nemea. Old wineries are renovated and new ones are created. On all the enchanting routes between the vineyards there are signs on the streets with the inscriptions of the wineries scattered everywhere. From large and impressive wineries, to small family and traditional wineries, 42 wineries are signing.
