Jacopo MazzeoLast summer, I was lucky enough to spend a few days touring #wineries across some of #Georgia's key wine regions, Kaheti and Kartli, as well as the capital Tbilisi.
I've written quite a few stories following the trip (Decanter and Glug), but this is the one I really couldn't wait to see published. Partly because it's my first proper #photoessay.
Here, I investigate the spiritual value of Georgia’s #qvevri and explore their power to generate new life.
