Ionion wines have shown their quality and style from 1842
THE IONIAN ISLANDS
The best wines of the Ionian Islands are those of Ithaca, Kefalonia, and the semi-mountainous and mountainous regions of Zakynthos.
They are quite strong and can withstand exportation and, if allowed to age, I believe they would be well received [in England] — especially the red wine of Ithaca, the finest white wine of Kefalonia, and the verdea of Zakynthos.
— John Davy, British officer, Notes and Observations on the Ionian Islands and Malta, 1842
