Why Danieli?
YEARS AGO, MY WIFE EKA AND I CHOSE TO MARRY IN THE GEORGIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH, LEADING TO MY CONVERSION AND A UNIQUE BAPTISMAL NAME: DANIELI, MEANING "THAT FELLOW DANE" IN GEORGIAN. THIS QUIRKY TALE INSPIRED THE NAME OF OUR WINE.
BEYOND ITS PERSONAL ORIGIN, DANIELI EMBODIES ELEGANCE AND BALANCE, MIRRORING THE EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY OF OUR WINES. AS HOPELESS ROMANTICS, WE ADORE THE HISTORIC CHARM OF HOTEL DANIELI IN VENICE, REMINISCENT OF OUR VINEYARD'S NOBLE SETTING ALONG THE GRAND CANAL.
IN ESSENCE, "DANIELI" ENCAPSULATES OUR STORY, AKIN TO THE NATURAL HARMONY FOUND IN OUR WINES.

4 AM Something New
The continuous importance of winemaking and drinking in Georgian culture is visible in various works of art. From the 4th century AD, wine gained further importance in Georgian culture when Saint Nino, who preached Christianity in Georgia, bore a cross made from grapevine wood.
Wine Traditions
The roots of Georgian viticulture have been traced back through archaeology to at least 8,000 BC. Georgians were cultivating grapes and burying clay vessels, called kvevris, in which to store their wine for serving at the perfect ground-based temperature.
Danieli Winery grows only traditional Georgian grapes in the Akhmeta region on south-facing slopes near the village of Argokhi. This terroir is famous for the magnificent Kisi grape variety, which is enjoying a resurgence after nearly disappearing during the country’s Communist period. Danieli Winery is proud to be revitalizing the modern production of these wines for the world to discover!
