Discover the grape variety: Saperavi
Deeply coloured, powerful reds with inky robe (teinturier grape with red flesh) and tight tannins, with intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, spices, leather and balsamic notes. High acidity and fine ageing potential. Often made by the ancestral qvevri method (buried clay jar), it signs the great Georgian reds of Kakheti (Mukuzani, Kvareli, Napareuli). Also in Russia, Ukraine and Australia. Ancient Georgian variety.

The wine region of Napareuli
Georgian PDO in northern Kakheti, left bank of the Alazani River at the foot of the Greater Caucasus (400–700 m). Saperavi is the signature indigenous red — deep near-black colour with intense notes of blackberry, black cherry, plum, spices, tobacco and a mineral-smoky touch, firm tannins and superb structure. Rkatsiteli (≥85%) as white benchmark — taut with yellow fruits, citrus, white flowers and a spiced touch, sometimes aged in amber qvevri. Kakhuri Mtsvane as complement.
The wine region of Kakheti
Cradle of amber and orange wines, vinified in qvevri (buried clay jars, UNESCO). Skin-macerated Rkatsiteli whites: signature notes of dried apricot, walnut, honey, orange peel and black tea, fine tannins and controlled oxidation. Deep, tinctorial Saperavi reds with black fruit, plum, spice and firm tannins, age-worthy. Also Mtsvane and Kisi in white, fresh and floral.
The word of the wine: Fade
Wine lacking in sapidity, flat, soft and without character.
