Terracotta and Wine

Attention winemakers!

Terracotta Artenova is one of only two or three producers world-wide of terracotta giare (large containers) and barriques specifically designed for fermentation and aging of wine. Click here to learn more about terracotta wine production.

Moreover a special system for closing the amphorae was used that coincided with our requirement to completely isolate the wine from oxygen. The amphorae had an inner coating of a natural product such as the bees' wax that created a barrier preventing any loss of wine towards the exterior. Today we are offering the materials to resume one of the most ancient techniques in human history for the preservation of the wine as a way to contribute to the harmonious equilibrium between wine and nature.
