गहराई से

Amphorae were used throughout the Mediterranean for 6,000+ years. Georgian qvevri (buried clay vessels) represent the oldest continuous winemaking tradition. Roman amphorae have been found across the empire, their stamps revealing ancient trade routes. Modern winemakers use amphorae for their micro-oxygenation properties and connection to ancient tradition.
