Tasting notes: on the palate, this dry red wine has a velvety tannins and an opulent taste, with a long and pleasant aftertaste.

Vinification: Academia Saperavi is produced using traditional winemaking methods. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected for the blend. The wine undergoes maturation in clay amphorae, which allows for the wine to develop a unique character and enhance its flavour profile. After the amphorae maturation, the wine undergoes a short rest in oak barrels to provide an additional layer of complexity and texture. This combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques helps to create a well-balanced wine with a complex and harmonious taste.
