Vellino

I’m from Georgia, my name is Beka Jimsheladze and I’m a winemaker and owner of a small family winery – VELLINO and we produce natural wines (orange/amber, red, rose and white) from organically farmed local grapes with Georgian traditional unique method – skin contact fermentation and aging in Qvevri(clay vessel buried underground). My family had vineyards and have been making natural wines for decades in their old clay vessels – Qvevris, but this wine was made only for family use. Because I had so big emotional touch with all those processes, to the village where I was born and where we have the vineyards, I stopped working in Tbilisi(capital) as a financial auditor in a world’s top financial company and moved to my village in 2015. This was the first year when we bottled our family wine and offered it to natural wine lovers. Our wines are already presented in natural wine bars, shops and restaurants of the following countries: Denmark, Austria, Netherlands, Australia, Czech Republic, Japan, USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Poland, Belgium.
