Lagvinari is a small organic winery founded in 2011 by Dr Irakli Glonti, a former physician and geologist who works closely with local winegrowers.

Lagvinari, Tsolikouri is a white dry wine made from autochthonous Tsolikouri grapes grown in Western Georgia, in the Imereti region. Production is based on the traditional Georgian method of winemaking, fermentation and maturation of the wine takes place in egg-shaped Kvevri clay jugs. The wine is not filtered or clarified before bottling, the sulphite content is low.
The wine is golden amber in colour.
The wine's flavour is lively and fresh, with tones of citrus fruits and a long aftertaste.
The aroma of the wine has notes of green apples, yellow plum, citrus fruits (mandarin, clementine), which are complemented by floral and nutty tones and nuances of honey from citrus flowers.
We suggest opening the wine 1 hour before drinking and using an aerator.
