Askaneli Saperavi: Georgian Dry Red Wine

Discover the true character of Georgian winemaking with Askaneli Saperavi. This premium dry red wine, hailing from the highly acclaimed Kakheti region, represents the pure essence of a winemaking tradition that dates back thousands of years. If you are looking for a wine with soul, a robust body, and an unmistakable flavor profile, Saperavi from the Askaneli winery is the perfect choice.

The Unique “Dye” Grape

The name of the Saperavi grape literally translates to “dye”. It is a global rarity—belonging to an exclusive family of teinturier grapes, which possess not only dark skins but also red flesh. The result is a wine with an extraordinarily deep color and a naturally high concentration of antioxidants, earning it high prestige among wine connoisseurs worldwide.

Where Tradition Meets Modernity

The Askaneli winery masterfully balances a deep respect for ancient traditions with state-of-the-art modern technologies. This meticulous approach ensures that the wine retains its fruity freshness, varietal purity, and perfect harmony—qualities highly appreciated by both lovers of full-bodied red wines and demanding collectors alike.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Right from the first pour, you will be captivated by its deep ruby to inky purple color, which is almost entirely opaque.

• Aroma: The intense and captivating bouquet is dominated by notes of ripe forest fruits—especially blackberries and blackcurrants—complemented by a delicate touch of black pepper and bay leaf.

• Palate: The palate reveals the classic, robust character of Saperavi. The wine is full-bodied, highly extractive, and rich in tannins that are beautifully rounded and velvety. Juicy sour cherries and dark plums take center stage, followed by a light spiciness that seamlessly transitions into a long, beautifully balanced finish.

Serving & Food Pairing Recommendations

Askaneli Saperavi is a gastronomic wine par excellence. Its structural depth and bold flavor profile are practically begging to be paired with hearty, rich dishes.

• Serving Temperature: 16–18 °C (60–64 °F)
