Foivos was founded in 1990s on the Greek island of Kefaloniain from the vineyards of one of the oldest wineries in Greece (Mantzavino). It had a long family tradition at Paliki, Kefalonia, producing some of the finest Greek wines. From 1999 onwards, Foivos S.A. the new proprietor of the estate, launched the winery into a new era, developing and taking advantage of the excellent local varieties, furnishing the old winery with modern equipment, and combining traditional wine-making methods with updated technology. Since 2015 Foivos started an innovative method of aging of wines first in amphoras, following the ancient Greek way, and then under water: immersing them in the sea.
