Cognac Tetroni is a brand of Georgian drink that is made in the small village of Okami by a company bearing the same name. This is a relatively young production, but its products have already gained a lot of admirers. About Georgian cognac "Tetroni", its taste and features will be described in this essay.
Factory History
The village of Okami in Georgia has long been famous for its traditions of winemakers. This settlement is located in the Cape region, which is one of the centers of Caucasian viticulture. In 1966, the Okamsk winery Samtrest was built here. Like the rest of the plant’s production, the Tetroni brandy has gained a considerable degree of fame due to its favorable location. It was built next to the highway, which connects two large Georgian cities - Gori and Tbilisi.
Almost 30 years after its founding, the plant became the property of Okami JSC. It is an interesting fact that the new owner initially worked in the subordination of the Samtrest plant as an additional production force, as well as as a supplier of raw materials and its processor.
After the change of ownership, new European equipment appeared at the plant, and the bottling shop was substantially modernized. Today, the enterprise owns more than 430 hectares of land on which vineyards are located.
