History of the label:

The label of KERAMOS wines is inspired from the ancient Greek history and depicts the meeting of Alexander the Great and the cynic philosopher Diogenes. The philosophy of Diogenes was “Less is more” and, for this reason he lived in an amphora instead of a house. For the Cynics and for us, the purpose of life is to live in virtue, in agreement with nature.
