Georgian micro-AOC in Kakheti at the Caucasus foothills, clay-limestone soils. Saperavi monovarietal signature (native teinturier with red pulp, 5-6 millennia in Kakheti). Signature full-bodied deep reds with notes of black candied cherry, blackberry, plum, ink, leather, tobacco, dried herbs and a balsamic oaky touch, firm tannins and dense palate — dark robe, minimum 3-year oak ageing, long-keeping. Venerable Caucasus gastronomic wine.
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: Passerillage
Concentration of the grape by drying out, under the influence of wind or sun, as opposed to botrytisation, which is the concentration obtained by the development of the "noble rot" for which Botrytis cinerea is responsible. The word is mainly used for sweet wines.
