Qvevri Wine Cellar

The Qvevri Wine Cellar company practices 350-year old traditions of patrimonial pitch winemaking. The restoration of this patrimonial tradition was the result of many years of research into pitch winemaking and the traditions of ancestors which have been handed down to the present day.

The Georgian Times interviews Ivane Nareklishvili, owner of the company.“My wine cellar is in the village of Velistsikhe, which is my ancestral home. After 25 years of winemaking for different companies, I combined the vast experience of Kakhetian traditional winemaking with contemporary winemaking knowledge acquired in Italy to produce high quality wines in my own segment.”
