Italian craft, Georgian spirit.
A discipline of elegance
No bells. No rituals.
Just hand, grape, and a mind trained to wait.
Our wines begin in stillness and end in surprise.
8000 years. One question.
Georgia has made wine for 8000 years. But has it ever been made with discipline? With restraint? Without nostalgia?
We're not here to be compared. We're here to be measured - against ourselves.
Made in Georgia. Unlike any Georgian wine.
Our approach
Crafted with no apologies
We don't sell history. We work with what the land can offer now - no myths, no medals. Just sun, slope, soil, and will.
Every decision, from the vineyard to the bottle, is measured against one standard: does it make the wine more precise? If it doesn't, we leave it out.
The founders
And Nimbi was born
Georgian winemaking rests on an 8000-year history and on traditions kept within families, passed down from generation to generation and shaping the character of Georgian wine. Nimbi grows from those roots: a winery founded in 2019 by Bacho Bugdiashvili and Vato Otkhmezuri. Their love of the vine gave them a single goal: to discover the full potential of Georgian wine and earn it a distinguished place in the premium segment.
Two friends, Vato and Bacho - both successful, both restless, both unsatisfied with what Georgian wine had become. Surrounded by a country proud of its 8000-year tradition, they couldn't help but wonder: where is the excellence? The elegance? The control?
They weren't winemakers. That's why they saw clearly.
The winemaker
The mastermind behind each bottle
Riccardo Cotarella
Reaching that goal meant joining two worlds. Georgian wine is emotional, while modern winemaking demands precise technical discipline and control of the process. Nimbi needed someone who understood the soul of Georgian wine and, at the same time, had the knowledge to raise that tradition to modern world standards.
This is where Riccardo Cotarella comes in, one of the most influential figures in modern winemaking. Today he is president of the Association of Italian Oenologists. For ten years he also led the World Association of Oenologists, of which he is now honorary president.
Nimbi's founders needed exactly such a person: someone driven by a love of grapes, for whom winemaking is more than a technical process. And through Nimbi, Cotarella found a path that, after 60 years, brought him back to where winemaking began - to Georgia, the homeland of wine.
Nimbi's vision combined with Cotarella's professional approach became a partnership that laid the foundation for a unique wine.
I have followed the production of wine all over the world with passion and love, but doing it in the motherland of wine, Georgia, excites me and makes me proud. I thank Vakhtang Otkhmezuri and Bacho Bugdiashvili, owners of the Nimbi winery, for having wanted me to lead this wonderful project.

The collection
Three wines, three intentions
Entry
Intento
Our most accessible and inviting wine. The name joins intention - a clear purpose - with delicacy: softness, approachability, and grace.
Reserve
Origine
The middle tier. A name about depth and identity: this wine isn't just from somewhere - it carries the essence of where it comes from.
Top tier
Memoria
Our top-tier line. This is about legacy - a wine that leaves an impression. It's not about where it was made, but about what it makes you feel, and how long it stays in memory.
Where we are
Khashmi, Kakheti
The Khashmi microzone lies in the Sagarejo municipality and stands out for its warm climate, sunny days and carbonate soils, which give the wine deep colour, rich aroma and a strong structure. The influence of the Gombori Range keeps the climate relatively cool, which helps Saperavi keep its lively acidity even at full ripeness.
Grapes ripen well in Khashmi, so the wine is full-bodied, with intense tannins and above-average alcohol. The signature of Khashmi Saperavi is a strong structure, lively acidity and a wide range of aromas.
We don't promise to impress. We promise to be remembered.
