Origin:
Gianiani - Saperavi, Pinot Noir is an exceptional blend of two iconic grape varieties, carefully crafted in the Kakheti region of Georgia. This wine is made using traditional Georgian winemaking methods, fermented and aged in qvevri, the ancient clay vessels that have been used for thousands of years to create wines with unique depth and complexity. The bold Saperavi is paired with the delicate, refined Pinot Noir to produce a wine that offers both power and elegance.

Grape Variety:
A fusion of the rich, full-bodied Saperavi grape, known for its deep color and bold structure, and the light, nuanced Pinot Noir, celebrated for its finesse and aromatic complexity. Together, these two varieties create a wine that beautifully balances intensity with subtlety.

Taste Profile:

• Color: Deep ruby with garnet reflections.
• Aroma: Intense and complex, with layers of dark fruits such as blackberries, plums, and cherries, complemented by earthy undertones, subtle spices, and a hint of oak.
• Taste: Full-bodied yet smooth, with rich flavors of dark berries, dried fruit, and a touch of smoke from the qvevri aging process. The tannins are well-integrated, and the wine finishes with a long, elegant, and slightly peppery finish, showcasing the balance between Saperavi’s boldness and Pinot Noir’s finesse.

 

Craftsmanship:
Fermented and aged in qvevri, this wine reflects the ancient winemaking traditions of Georgia. The qvevri’s porous clay allows for slow oxygenation, resulting in a wine that has a unique character—deeply expressive and reflective of its terroir. The Saperavi and Pinot Noir are hand-harvested and undergo a natural fermentation, ensuring the preservation of their distinctive flavors.

Serving Suggestions:
Best served at room temperature. This wine pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, roast lamb, or aged cheeses. It also complements dishes with rich sauces, offering an elegant contrast to their bold flavors.
