Saperavi (spelled Saparavi on this label), an indigenous Georgian red grape, is unusual because both the skin and the juice is red, which results in a deeply colored wine. The label describes its profile accurately, “soft and fruity, lingering aftertaste.” It is big and ripe, bordering on sweet, with soft tannins. For those embracing that style, it would be a good choice for a spiced chili.
