Lady-Frosyni belongs to the collection of semi-sparkling Wines of Domaine Glinavos.

Lady-Frosyni was connected with the story of Ali Pasha of Ioannina and her tragic end on January 11th of 1801 was sung in folk tradition but also became an opera, a novel and a film. Ali Pasha decided to execute her along with 17 other fellow-townswomen by drowning them in the lake of Ioannina with the official charge of leading an immoral life; there were doubts about these accusations and Frosyni Vassiliou was even considered a victim of political persecution.

The main part of the label is covered by the figure of Lady-Frosyni emphasizing on her eyes, thus conveying the mystery of her legend and creating doubts, even today, about her immoral life.

The deep black cap serves as a canvas where circularly unfold the lyrics of the urban song entitled “Tis Kyra-Frosynis”.

The A side is completed on its bottom by a repeated shape reminding of flowing water, thus connecting the image with her tragic end in the lake of Ioannina.
