THE BREWERY FROM LAZIO WHO HAVE BEEN USING ARTENOVA AMPHORAE SINCE 2011
The Beer-jars of "Birra del Borgo" Brewery 
The company from Borgorose tell us about their beer "Anfora" matured in terracotta for 24 months

Since Artenova initiated their production of wine-jars they have not only been appreciated more and more by wine producers but also by the brewery "Birra del Borgo" from Borgorose in Lazio. Yes, even those who produce beer consider the terracotta amphorae of Impruneta valuable containers for their product. The brewery from Borgorose has 8 Artenova jars in which they mature their beer. Leonardo Di Vincenzo, owner of "Birra del Borgo", has believed and invested in terracotta since 2011 when he first began to use Artenova jars. Now following on from his first beer "Etruscan" based on an analysis of archaeological finds in an ancient Etruscan tomb, the brewery have produced "Anfora": an audacious remake of their own oak matured barley wine called “Sedicigradi”(meaning 16°) but this time matured in terracotta for as long as 24 months. Here “Birra del Borgo” describes the notes and flavours of “Anfora”.
"Rethinking beer is what we like to do best. This means re-elaborating the idea of ​​classical beer and the concept of going beyond the boundaries of a product which now has become the result of standardization, rethinking the ingredients, revising the world of beer in a different key to reinterpret different styles. So we started to look at and interpret the past, taking elements from ancient culture, using containers for fermentation which are unusual for modern brewing. French oak barrels, wooden vats of 30 hectolitres and, more than anything, our 800 litre terracotta jars, a most unexpected vessel for the fermentation and maturation of our line of "Bizarre" beers.

In fact it is from the use of terracotta jars that we created "Anfora", a beer unique in the international brewing scene, a bold reworking of our own barley wine "Sedicigradi" aged for 24 months in terracotta. The long aging gives it a complexity of scents, flavours and colours. "Anfora" emits scents atypical for a beer, ranging from vanilla to red fruit. The terracotta jar confers mineral nuances to the beer while maintaining a delicate background sweetness".
