GUSTO
Flavours of the Caucasus
Azerbaijani plov
Saffron rice with dried fruit and lamb, a celebration dish.
Georgian qvevri wine
Fermented underground in clay amphorae, the world’s oldest documented winemaking method.
Georgia has made wine the same way for 8,000 years: grape, amphora, earth. Drunk on a journey through futuristic Baku, Georgian monasteries and ancient Armenian temples, that wine tells the story of a crossroads between empires better than any guidebook.
