Why these names?
The history behind each Name
Our wines are launched on the market under the name Imperator. Our winery owes its name Imperator to the founding emperor of the Votsas Monastery. The founder of the Votsas Monastery was the Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV Pogonatos, hence the name of the monastery "Panagia Pogoniotissa". As a tribute to the Emperor founder Constantine, we decided to name our wines Imperator.
