Georgian
traditions

Georgia is the place where we can find the origins of world wine-making. At 6000 year BC, and maybe even earlier, grapes were grown here and fine wines were created! This land is so saturated with the spirit of winemaking that in every sip of local wines and cognacs we feel the taste of traditions and the thousand-year experience of Georgian masters.

Georgian cognac, in comparison with wine, is a younger drink that has been produced here since the middle of the 17th century. But the quality of the local grapes and the talent of the masters made themselves felt: at 1878 Georgian cognac was awarded a gold medal at the international Paris exhibition. Over that years, the number of manufacturers, brands, and at the same time the number of awards and admirers of Georgian cognac grew around the world.

Today Georgian cognac consists of:

  • grapes grown in unique terroirs;
  • high-quality cognac spirits;
  • innovative equipment;
  • the best world technologies and, of course, the ancient history of local winemaking.

Modern technologies

The quality of cognac, its richness of flavours and aromas are determined by many factors — from the terroir of vineyards and processing of oak wood to the exact observance of technological processes.

At the ABF, the selected grapes are crushed and pressed. Further the juice is waited for fermentation. The fermented wine material is sent for distillation, after which valuable cognac spirits are obtained. From them we take the middle fraction of alcohol. Only the middle fraction goes for ageing. Our spirits retain in themselves the subtle nuances of young wine, and in the future are enriched with oak shades, giving rise to noble and refined beverages!

Year after year, we replenish the stocks of brandy alcohol, distributed in renewable oak barrels, made from a century old oak, and insisted in tanks on selected oak materials. After ageing, we begin to produce the cognac itself — blending. So our cognac masters create the character and personality of Niko Pirosmani cognacs.

Технологии

At all stages of production, raw materials and spirits are tested not only in their own laboratory at the plant, but also at accredited laboratories in Georgia and Europe. Therefore, the quality of Niko Pirosmani cognacs is always on top!

Искусство коньяка

Niko Pirosmani

A self-taught artist, a man of complex destiny and incredible natural talent, one of the symbols of Georgia. In his paintings — the whole truth of life of that time, the life of the Georgian people: everyday life and holidays, pitchers with wine and hospitable tables, city sketches and peasant landscapes, images of people and images of animals — everything that was close to him.

What is the secret of the success of these paintings? In their simplicity and sincerity, that the artist himself did not chase after fees, but simply always dreamed of drawing, expressing himself in every picture.

The glory came to him only after his death and grew from year to year. He made about two thousand of paintings but to our days have preserved no more than three hundred of them. You can see Pirosmani’s works in the best museums in Tbilisi, Moscow, London, Paris and other cities in the world.
