Description:  Alazani Valley – Red Semi Sweet Wine, produced 100% from Saperavi grape variety  that is  grown in a specific zone of one of the traditional high quality wine making regions;  “Alazani Valley” called after the river  Alazani in Kakheti region. Due to the warmer temperature in the valley grapes have natural sweetness. The high quality of wine in the Alazani Valley micro-zone is conditioned by the carbonate soils and the micro climate that dominates in this zone. These conditions help preserve the acidity even after the grape has ripened, which is essential when making high-quality  wines. The grapes in this zone are quite ripe, which is an important quality for this particular wine and allows a higher extraction level.
