Nestled in the charming southern region of Corfu, in Lefkimmi, Pontiglio Winery carries the spirit of resilience and tradition. The name Pontiglio, an old Corfiot word of Venetian origin meaning stubborn determination, reflects a journey that began in the 1980s to preserve the island’s winemaking heritage. The estate specialises in the indigenous varieties Kakotrygis, Petrokoritho, and the elegant red Skopelitiko — producing around 20,000 bottles annually using the traditional strofilia press.
