- Our Heritage -
Marani Gelovani is a family-run winery nestled in the ancient wine country of Georgia, where we craft natural wines that honor an unstoppable 8,000-year tradition of winemaking.
While our grapes are carefully harvested from the vineyards of Tibaani, the eastern part of the Kakheti region. Our cellar is located in the serene village of Tskluleti, where we produce bold, expressive amber and red wines in traditional qvevri clay vessels buried beneath the earth, allowing the wine to express itself naturally.
In Georgian, “Marani” (მარანი) means “Winery”
Marani Gelovani (მარანი გელოვანი) means "Gelovani Winery"
Gelovani is an ancient noble family which ruled a large region
of Svaneti, in Western Georgia, since the XII century.
The genealogy of Princes Gelovani is intertwined with many Georgian Kings and other noble princely families of Georgia. The history of winemaking by Gelovani family traces back
more than 1000 years.
Gelovani Quality
We produce only 100% natural Georgian wines, rooted in the same soil and rituals that have defined this land for thousands of years.
Only organic fertilizer, and no pesticides used in the vineyards, every vine is tended by hand; harvested at the exact moment of ripeness, under the first light of dawn.
No additives, no fining, no sulfites, no additional yeast beyond what nature provides. Only hard work, patience, and the quiet mastery of tradition guide the process from vine to bottle and to your table.
Love and tradition flow through every bottle at Marani Gelovani.
