Kepos di Ampeleia

Ampeleia

Kepos, meaning garden, or any place where herbs and trees grow, is aptly named.

Red berries, white pepper, savour herbs and just stunning aromatic lift. The palate lacks nothing in those flavours, but also maintains the freshness and lift making for an incredibly engaging and not at all tiring drink. Bracing, and invigorating!
