Lagvinari
A brief history
We produce wines exclusively in Kvevri with long-skin maceration from indigenous Georgian grape varieties.
Lagvinari - famous for having its wines featured on the menus at several Michelin-starred restaurants is an organic winery in Georgia, founded by Doctor Eko Glonti. He works in different wine-growing regions in Georgia, such as Imereti, Kartli, Kakheti. He owns vineyards and works closely with local, artisan grape growers. He uses indigenous grape varieties and ancient winemaking techniques (fermenting, storing and aging wines in kvevri) to promote sustainable Georgian farming and preserve its rich cultural heritage.
Wine production in Georgia dates back to the Bronze Age and, it is said, the word wine, or vin, is derived from the Georgian ღვინო "gvino".
Georgia's traditional winemaking method of fermenting grapes in earthenware egg-shaped vessels (kvevri) has been added to UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
