Askaneli ALAZANI VALLEY red semisweet wine – 0,75 l

Askaneli Alazani Valley – Georgian Red Wine

If you are looking for a wine that is friendly, uncomplicated, and instantly winning, Askaneli Alazani Valley Red is the perfect choice. This wine is named after the legendary Alazani River Valley in eastern Georgia (Kakheti), where the warm climate creates the ideal conditions for growing grapes with high natural sugar content.

A masterful blend of several red varieties (with Saperavi taking the lead), this wine is crafted for pure drinking pleasure. It is the ideal companion for relaxed evenings with friends or for those who find traditional dry red wines a bit too heavy or tannic.

Tasting Profile

• Color: In the glass, the wine greets you with a lively, medium-ruby color that glows with vitality.

• Aroma: The nose is a basket of fresh fruit—dominated by sweet notes of wild berries, particularly blackberries, raspberries, and ripe sour cherries.

• Palate: On the palate, Alazani Valley Red is exceptionally soft and delicious. The natural sweetness of the grapes is in perfect harmony with a gentle acidity, ensuring the wine feels fresh rather than cloying. The tannins are almost imperceptible, contributing to a velvety, smooth mouthfeel.

Serving Recommendations

Thanks to its semi-sweet character, this wine is incredibly versatile. To emphasize its fruity freshness, we recommend serving it slightly chilled.

• Serving Temperature: 12–14 °C

• Food Pairing: It is a wonderful match for desserts like fruit tarts or chocolate mousse and pairs beautifully with a bowl of fresh fruit. Surprisingly, it also works brilliantly as a contrast to spicy dishes or Asian cuisine, where its sweetness elegantly balances the heat of the food.
