There’s a quiet revolution fermenting in the hills of Kakheti—and it doesn’t shout. It pours gently, with the grace of a handwritten letter. Delicate Red 2024, crafted by the boutique winery Chito’s Gvino, is a wine for those who listen.
Made through Georgia’s ancient qvevri winemaking method, this unfiltered red invites you into a different kind of experience. It doesn’t rely on oak or showy extraction. It’s not chasing trends or awards. Instead, it tells the story of the land, of soft hands working grapes grown in harmony with nature.
The fermentation takes place in traditional clay qvevris, buried underground to maintain natural temperature and energy. Time, gravity, and intuition do most of the work. The result? A light-bodied, dry Georgian red wine that glows with purity and elegance.
Each sip is a conversation—bright but composed. Earthy but clean. Fruity but never sweet. The silky tannins and lifted aromas make it ideal for slow meals, long talks, or just a well-deserved moment of stillness.
