In this case, the decision not to link the name to the Abruzzi region was clear right from the start. The name 'Kudos' was selected in order to transmit the message that our best parcel of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and Merlot are blended together to produce our pinnacle wine. We wanted a non-Italian name to clearly communicate that there was a non-traditional varietal in the blend.
The Greek-rooted name was chosen also emphasize the unquestionable influence by the Hellenic ancient culture in the development of the Western European wine culture.
