Explore the Vaziani Saperavi, a delightful red wine from the lush wine region of Kakheti in southeastern Georgia, renowned for its ancient winemaking tradition. This remarkable wine is made from the Saperavi grape, an indigenous variety that has deep roots in Georgia. The Saperavi grapes thrive exceptionally well in Kakheti due to the warm climate and fertile soil, providing optimal growing conditions. The grapes are hand-harvested in vineyards located at an elevation of 480 meters above sea level, in the historic winemaking area of Kakheti, in southeastern Georgia. The hand harvest is followed by careful grape selection and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This wine has a perfectly balanced alcohol content, making it a pleasure to drink. With an alcohol percentage of 12.5%, this wine subtly highlights its diverse flavor nuances without overpowering them. Order your bottle today and treat yourself to this exquisite wine.
 

The Vaziani Saperavi stands out with its deep ruby red color, which immediately catches the eye. The aroma is both intense and layered, with notes of ripe dark fruit, spicy accents, and a subtle hint of oak. What truly makes this wine special is its flavor profile. It offers a full, rich tasting experience, where juicy blackberries, cherries, and plums harmonize with a touch of spiciness and a silky tannin structure. This wine will appeal to both fans of fruity red wines and those who prefer deep, complex flavors. The Vaziani Saperavi is a versatile companion for a variety of dishes. Its fullness and complexity make it ideal to pair with grilled meats, such as juicy steaks or tender lamb. Additionally, it pairs excellently with flavorful stews and rich pasta dishes. For cheese lovers, this wine is a great choice to serve alongside spicy cheeses. To experience the full flavor of the Vaziani Saperavi, we recommend serving this wine slightly chilled at a temperature of around 16-19°C. This will allow the aromas and flavors to fully unfold, so you can enjoy the complexity of this Georgian wine to the fullest.

The history of Vaziani begins in 1982 as a successor to Telavi Winery No. 1, continuing the ancient Georgian winemaking traditions. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, challenges arose in the wine industry, leading to the creation of a new company, originally known as a souvenir production company. This company aimed to offer the highest quality Georgian wine brands in elegant gift packaging, with the goal of preserving the prestigious image of these wine brands. This bold experiment proved to be a great success, and today, Vaziani takes pride in this historical achievement. Georgia is at the forefront of the global wine industry with its natural wines, orange wines, amphora wines, terroir-driven wines, and wines made from indigenous grapes. What is remarkable is that these aspects are not modern trends for Georgians but rather ancient winemaking traditions that have been cherished for thousands of years. The country boasts a treasure of over 8,000 different grape varieties. Despite their deeply rooted history, Georgian wines have only recently gained international recognition, making them all the more intriguing to explore and taste.
