Demetra amphorae are born from the desire to create wine vases that retain the romanticism of form of these containers and which combined the innovation that over the years has taken place in the ceramic sector.
The passion for wine and the in-depth knowledge of the processing of ceramic material it has pushed us to enter a completely new sector for us.
There was no lack of collaboration with ceramic technicians and oenologists and after several testswe managed to find the dough that suited our idea of an amphora.
