Gentilini

The Rare Robola

Experts agree that Robola is one of the finest Greek white varieties. The grapes grow in tiny, low-yielding vineyards within the high plateau of the Omala Valley and on the steep slopes of imposing Mount Ainos whose peak climbs to 1,632 meters and dominates the microclimate of the surrounding area. It is this terroir that gives the potential for wines of exceptional quality which are characterized by delicate citrus and mineral aromas, balanced acidity and medium body with a long aftertaste.

Mavrodaphne of Kefalonia is an exceptional cousin of the better known Mavrodaphne of Patras which is made into a sweet wine. On Kefalonia, however, this grape is mainly fermented into a powerful, dry wine with characteristic aromas of sour cherry and wild mint.

Our talented team makes sure that each variety is hand-picked at peak ripeness and brought to the winery in small bins. All vinification and bottling is done at the Gentilini winery. Our boutique winery is small, but well equipped, and our barrels come from the best cooperage houses of Europe. This allows us to experiment and innovate, producing expressive wines of great finesse for the enjoyment of wine aficionados the world over.

Today, Gentilini wines can be enjoyed in our garden during the balmy days of summer on Kefalonia but are also exported throughout the world. They can be found in at trendy dining spots and wine bars throughout Europe, in America, the UK, Japan and Australia and even at Michelin starred restaurants in France.
