This factory was named as the largest wine factory around the Caucasus region in 1970. The company was revived in 2016 - human resources were retrained, new inventories were equipped and new technologies implemented and all these give the possibility to produce wine both in traditional Georgian and modern European technologies. “Alazani" treats Georgian wine history with a huge responsibility and produce “traditional wine traditionally” - the wine in qvevri is produced by the same methodology described by Baron de Baye.
