瑪莉莎白 |
Origin:The slopes of Mount Athos, a unique place of great natural beauty; a monastic community dedicated to the perpetual glorification of the Mother of God. A place of devotion, prayer, obedience and meditation. From the early settlements, the monks at the cloister of St. Panteleimon, on the slopes of Mount Athos (250 m above sea level), have cultivated the vines under harsh conditions. It was the beginning of a notable winemaking tradition that lasted throughout the centuries and made the Mt. Athos wine renowned.
