Wine Box Made In Amphora (3bt)

The Wine Box Made in Amphora offers a selection of fine wines crafted in amphora, labels endowed with an evocative ancestral dimension. The bond between wine and amphora has ancient origins since wine itself likely originated in this terracotta container. In fact, amphorae represent the oldest wine container ever, used for over 8,000 years in Georgia, the world cradle of viticulture, where it is known by the term qvevri. Over the millennia, amphorae have been used by numerous peoples, such as Phoenicians, Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans. However, with the spread of wooden barrels, which occurred precisely during the Roman era, amphorae were gradually set aside in the Western world, only to be rediscovered and valued by Josko Gravner, the iconic Friulian producer who during his travels in Georgia sensed the potential of this ancient wine container. Among the characteristics of the amphora are its aromatic neutrality towards wine and its high porosity, a factor that allows for significant micro-oxygenation of the liquid.

The Wine Box Made in Amphora contains three labels selected by the sommeliers of Callmewine for a journey to discover wines crafted in amphora, whether they are red, white, orange, or even sparkling. These are expressions with an authentic and genuine soul, typically the result of a handcrafted approach, endowed with a character that cannot possibly leave one indifferent.
