Amphora® noir
Vinifikation
Fermentation in the earth, in the original Georgian Kvevri (Georgian for amphora). The wall thickness of a Kvevri is only 1.5 cm. Without the counterpressure of the earth, a Kvevri cannot hold wine. The capacity of a Kvevri is about 1,000 liters. Storage in the specially built Marani (Kvevri cellar). Here, too, the Kvevris are buried in the ground. Whole vinification process without sulfur and without filtration. 8000 year old vinification method. The process is protected by Unesco as a world intellectual heritage. (The result is also called orange or natural wine).
