The story behind the label:

When the Aidani was ready for the first time, Haridimos Hatzidakis and Konstantina Chryssou were sitting at their kitchen table, discussing the new wine they were about to bottle, so as to decide on the right label for the bottle. Stella Hatzidaki was 3.5 years old at the time, she was sitting next to them and she was drawing.

At some point, Konstantina looked at Stella’s drawings and exclaimed that one of their daughter’s childlike artworks would be the perfect label for this particular wine! She convinced Haridimos (who didn't entirely agree at first) that there was no better choice, as it symbolized the freshness and liveliness one experiences when tasting the Aidani grape variety.

The label was designed by Stella Hatzidaki at the age of 3.5.
