Then, they became popular throughout the world with the Greeks and Romans using them as containers for olive oil, water and wine.<br \/>\nIndeed, the Romans introduced the Vitis Vinifera and other winemaking practices in their colonies in the whole Europe and the nectar obtained would be taken to Rome in these big clay containers.<br \/>\nAround 300 b.C., when the Celts brought along the wooden containers, the amphoras went out of use, surviving only in some areas of Spain and in the south of Italy.<br \/>\nIn 2013, the ageing in these egg-shaped earthenware vessels\u00a0was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"w-separator type_default size_medium thick_1 style_solid color_border cont_none\"><span class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/span><\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column \">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t<h3>Amphoras and Pietro Zardini<\/h3>\n<p>Amphoras are alive, they represent the Nature itself, being made from earth and water.<br \/>\nAmphoras are pure, but they need handling and using carefully.<br \/>\nI have immediately fallen in love with these containers and after spending some years studying their features, I eventually decided to buy some of them.<br \/>\nRight from the outset, I realised that the clay pots could be promising, and amazing results could be achieved: indeed, the wines ageing in there, developed new aromas and new flavours, although their use turned out to be much more complicated than expected.<br \/>\nAfter the ageing of some dry wines, I decided to have the Recioto, the great dessert wine of Valpolicella, undergo the same treatment.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row type_default valign_top\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-video ratio_16x9\"><div class=\"w-video-h\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-SmQVJI3cyc?rel=0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"{:it} Recioto della Valpolicella docg Classico Nella mia cantina sono presenti ormai da molto tempo diverse Anfore di varie capacit\u00e0, per un totale di circa 10.000 litri di capienza.
