Merchant's description

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour. Located in the Kakheti wine region, Badagoni is a renowned Georgian winery, founded in 2006, which, in its approximately 20 years of operation, has quickly gained popularity among critics and the public for its excellent wines. The company owns approximately 400 hectares of vineyards, distributed in all micro-zones of the region, and focuses its production on indigenous grape varieties using modern technologies, without forgetting the ancient winemaking traditions that make Georgia such a unique wine country. Produced with the best Saperavi grapes, selected and harvested in the Badagoni vineyards located in the Kahk area, this wine is a clear expression of winemaker Donato Lanati’s passion for this native Georgian vine. Badagoni Saperavi is an elegant wine with a clear and brilliant color, characterized by dark ruby ​​tones. Its aromatic profile is broad and intense with fruity notes of cherry, typical of this variety, and delicate hints of blackberry, herbs, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is round, soft, and generous, without ever becoming opulent. It is a balanced wine with a silky texture. It has a medium body and smooth tannins. The finish is long and persistent. It is excellent with lamb or pork chops, or with beef kebab.
