Karla Guererri Interviews Aléxandros Magapanos, the Self-Described Greek Wine Typicist
Aléxandros Megapanos is a singular character in the Greek wine industry. He has a sharp wit, a brutally funny, sometimes pointed, sense of humor and a casual demeanor that belies the intensity of his passion for what he does.
Megapanos has the right to claim a real interest in capturing varietal essence. He is a self-described typicist. "My goal," he says, "is not to make good wine, but to make typical [varietally true] wine."
Megapanos' vineyards lie in Attika, the largest wine production of Greece, where cultivating of vines is a heritage from the ancient times.
Wines from Megapanos Winery are imported by Wonderful Ethnic. Wonderful Ethnic may be reached at 212-683-5021 or e-mail george@wonderfulethnic.com
