Buy Wine from Iago's Wine

Located in the village of Mtskheta, Iago's Wine, also known by the name of its founder, Iago Bitarishvili, is located in the Kartli region of east-central Georgia, near Tiblissi. This winery has been a key pillar in the revitalisation of the artisanal winemaking movement in Georgia over the last decade. Iago, together with his wife, own just over 2 hectares of certified organic vineyards, planted mainly with the Chinuri variety. This winery has the honour of having been the first in Georgia to receive an organic certificate for both vineyard and winemaking, although in 2014 they decided not to continue with the certification of their wines.

Iago's winemaking legacy runs deep. He did not start making wine from scratch; he simply continued a family tradition. His grandparents and parents were winemakers, and from his childhood, Iago was involved in winemaking. He is a living testimony to the Georgian winemaking tradition, and his approach is based on the techniques he learned from his grandfather. Despite his skill and mastery in making delicate and elegant wines, Iago is humble and attributes his success to his grandfather's teachings.

Vineyards

Iago's Wine vineyards, which cover over 2 hectares, are planted with the Chinuri variety. These vineyards are certified organic and reflect Iago's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly viticulture. The Kartli region is known for its ideal conditions for growing grapes, with a climate that favours optimal ripening of the Chinuri variety.

Philosophy

Iago's Wine philosophy focuses on tradition and authenticity. Iago's wines are made from a single grape variety, Chinuri. Some of his wines are made with skin contact, while others are made without it. His"skin contact" wines spend six months in contact with the skins. In Georgia, this technique of ageing wine with skins, seeds and skins is known as leaving the wine with its "mother", as the pomace "feeds" the wine. On the other hand, wines fermented without skins are said to have no "mother".
Iago's Wine is a testament to Georgia's rich winemaking tradition. Through his wines, Iago shares not only the taste and character of the Kartli region, but also the history and culture of a country that has been making wine for thousands of years.
