The cool new but also ancient trend in Italian Wine you haven’t heard about

When you finally take that tour of your chosen Tuscan Winery, you may be surprised to find giant terracotta pots filled with wine nestled in between the typical steel and oak barrels. These giant pots are called Amphora in Italy and they are actually an extremely old method of winemaking that is quickly making a huge comeback! Because they are a natural material, and very porous, these Amphora allow a lot of oxygen to age the wine, however they do not add ANY additional flavoring. The end result is a beautifully aged wine that is extremely pure and fruit forward, a true wine love’s dream!
