Saperavi BIO Vinobiza 2016
Certified Organic Georgian Dry Red Wine

It’s been said that a glass of red wine a day is good for the heart, in which case make Bio your one glass, or two. Certified organic, this ultra-premium wine is wild yeast (natural fermented). Loaded with black fruit, Bio presents an intense aroma with touches of mineral, this wine has an enjoyable depth and complexity. Barrel aged in French oak, Bio is a direct descendent of the wines that fueled ancient Georgian warriors when they didn’t have time to eat during battle. Rich in history, low in sulfites, this full-bodied wine has soft tannins balanced with pleasant acidity.

The Wine
The Saperavi grapes are green harvested in early summer – small, unripe grapes are removed by hand, allowing the vine to put all its energy into the remaining grapes. Hand-picked in small 30-40 lb. capacity baskets to limit damage, the grapes are wild yeast (natural) fermented in the classic European style using stainless steel and filtering and aged in French oak for 4-6 months.
