The winery Rtoni was founded in 2017 in village Ruispiri of Kakheti region.
The philosophy of the winery is the combination of the traditional winemaking techniques and the innovatory approach with the minimal intervention into the natural processes

Tsinandali and Akhmeta.

The vineyards are treated carefully, with the respect to the natural approach. Grapes ripen under the sun of Kakheti and are picked when reach full maturity. Thanks to the terroir, the grape takes the maximum from the sun and the soil. This is where from come the intensive flavors and the complex body of the wines of Rtoni.
