Georgia - the Birthplace of Wine
With over 8,000 years of winemaking history, Georgia's wine culture is one of the oldest in the world. Here, wine is treated as a living being, requiring constant care, patience and respect.
In this book, Barisashvili explores:
The architectural styles of
maranis
(wine cellars) that have survived through the centuries.
The unique shapes and functions of
kvevri
- the ancient clay vessels used for fermentation and aging.
The meticulous, time-honored process of preparing a
before wine is poured in.
The traditional winemaking method - virtually unchanged for millennia - that continues to define Georgia's identity.
A must-read for wine lovers, cultural historians and anyone fascinated by authentic, living traditions, this book offers a rare glimpse into a craft that is as much art as it is heritage.
Giorgi Barisashvili
was born in 1974 in Mtskheta, Georgia. Trained as an engineering technologist, he is now one of the country's foremost researchers in the history and ethnography of Georgian viticulture and winemaking. He has published over one hundred studies in Georgian and other languages, teaches at several universities and actively participates in designing and building traditional Georgian
(wine cellars) and vineyards.
