Winemaker’s notes: The craft winery Chito’s Gvino appeared in 2017. Its founder and winemaker, Nino Chitoshvili, a native of Tbilisi, is a pianist by education. She came to winemaking as a result of her love for wine, philosophy, communication, and art in general. Moreover, Nino is convinced that the emotional response from the contact with wine better harmonizes with her inner world than music. For this reason, six years ago, the first qvevris were buried in the courtyard of her house. Nino is an advocate of natural, organic winemaking. During the fermentation, she does not use cultured yeast, and the wine is not filtered.
All wines only undergo natural vinification in qvevri for 7-9 months. All wines are produced only from grapes from the company’s own vineyards, which are located in Kakheti, in the village of Vachnadziani. This micro-zone of Mukuzani is ideal for producing both Saperavi and amber wines. White grape varieties include Rkatsiteli, Mtsvane, Kisi, and Khikhvi. Only organic preparations are used for vineyard care, and the natural diversity of flora characteristic of this terroir is cultivated. And only methods characteristic of the biodynamic concept of communication with nature are applied in winemaking.
A dry amber (orange) premium quality kvevri wine. Fermentation and maceration for 7 months. Expect aromas of apricot, wild herbs, ginger. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins and distinctive notes of orange peel, melon, a touch of honey and ginger, warm spices, and dried-fig undertones. An unforgettable wine.
Pair it with roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, aged cheeses, and charcuterie board.
Region: Kakheti, Georgia
Grape: 70% Rkatsiteli, 30% Mtsvane (kvevri)
