Saperavi is a red wine grape variety that originated in the country of Georgia. It is known for producing substantial, full-bodied wines with intense flavors. The name "Saperavi" translates to "paint" or "dye", which reflects on the deep, inky color of the wines it produces. The grapes are small with thick skins, providing a high concentration of tannins. The wines from Saperavi grapes often have strong flavors of black fruit, including blackcurrant and mulberry, as well as hints of spice and chocolate. They are typically high in alcohol content and acidic level, making them suitable for aging.
