It is a landmark name of an ancestral field of the Karimalis family which is believed to have the best conditions for a vineyard. It is the elevation, the inclination and the climate of the area that conspire in offering high quality wine. The inclination is actually managed by terraces, called «ohte» in the local tongue.
