The Georgia decanter was created in October 2024 to celebrate the friendship of Paolo Pecoraro, the producer of Pecorello di Pecoraro wine, with the ceramic artist Gennarino Condurso, son of Paolo Condurso, a world-famous artist from Seminara Calabria who inspired the work of Pablo Picasso.

It takes its name from an original decanter from Georgia.
Georgian wine and decanter have deep historical roots. The decanter, which is used to pour wine from the bottle into the decanter, has ancient origins. This utensil was first used in ancient Rome and Greece. The wine was great, but the sediment at the bottom of the bottle was undesirable. And so the decanter was created to separate the wine from these sediments, improving its taste and aroma.
The decanter also has a deep meaning in Georgian culture. Georgians are known for their love of wine and the traditional way to consume wine is from a decanter. It is a symbol of hospitality and sharing the joy of wine.
The decanter has several important functions that contribute to improving the quality of the wine and the overall experience:
  • Separation from sediment: As already mentioned, the decanter is used to separate the wine from the sediment at the bottom of the bottle. This ensures that a clean wine with no unwanted particles enters the glass.
  • Oxygenation of wine: When wine is poured into the decanter, it is oxygenated, which helps to release the aromas and flavours of the wine. This is particularly important for older wines.
  • Aesthetic element: The decanter is also an aesthetic element that adds elegance to the table and enhances the overall impression.
  • Wine service: When serving wine to guests, the decanter is easy and elegant.
The Georgia decanter is made of Seminara, Calabria clay, enameled on the outside with semi-gloss enamel and coated on the inside with lead-free crystalline suitable for food.
The ceramic technique arrived in Calabria from Greece during the Greek colonization, when southern Italy was part of Magna Graecia, the cradle of civilization in the 8th century BC.
This decanter can hold a standard bottle of wine 750ml
