100% Saperavi | Dry Red Wine | Mountain-Grown in Kakheti

Elevation Meets Tradition: Saperavi at Its Peak

The Danieli 2020 Mountain Saperavi is a dry red wine crafted from 100% Saperavi grapes grown in the elevated slopes of Georgia’s Kakheti region, where the combination of altitude, sunlight, and ancient soil imparts a unique freshness and structure to the wine. This is a powerful, expressive bottling that captures both the robust character of the Saperavi varietal and the terroir of Georgia’s mountainous vineyards.

🍇 Grape Variety: Saperavi

Saperavi, Georgia’s most iconic red grape, translates as “dye” or “color-giver” — a fitting name for this deeply pigmented variety. It's a rare teinturier grape, meaning both the skin and flesh are red, producing wines with intense color, natural acidity, and excellent aging potential.

Saperavi is beloved for its rich flavors of blackberry, plum, cherry, and earthy spice, often with firm tannins and a backbone of refreshing acidity — a hallmark of high-quality Georgian reds.

📍 Wine Region: Kakheti, Georgia

Located in eastern Georgia, Kakheti is the heart of the country's winemaking heritage and home to many of Georgia’s top vineyards. The mountain sub-zones within Kakheti produce exceptional Saperavi grapes, where cooler temperatures and rocky soils contribute to the wine’s elegance, structure, and mineral complexity.
