The day begins on a sun-washed road out of Athens, the private vehicle slicing toward the Peloponnese and the dramatic cleft of the Corinth Canal. Windows frame limestone cliffs and a sudden, engineered river that dares you to imagine ancient ships threading its narrow throat. By the time the car descends into Nemea’s basin, terra rossa soil and low, bushy vines have replaced scrubby hills—an earth colored like the wines it produces.
