Amphorae
Doug of Les Caves has sent me a couple of pictures of the amphorae used for the fermentation and elevage of Cos' Pithos wine (a red wine from Sicily that I blogged on a couple of weeks ago). I thought I'd share them here.

Dear Mr Jamie
The photos are quite interesting, i didn't know the amphorae is still in used for wine making.
Since you had tasted their wines, how is it different organoleptically?
i just found out your blog and will be checking the archives later and also the other blogs linking to your blog, massive stuff you got here.
Have a Good day to you and a productive weekend ahead!
Thanks for writing these stuff

Lovely!
yes Laykee--very
Jamie,
do you know that winemaking in amphores is very common (and traditional) in some regions of Portugal, esp. the Alentejo?
Of course it could be a big difference between using them since hundreds of years for traditional purposes and reinventing them for a new kind/aesthetic of modern wine.
Cheers,
Arthur Landwein
