Chitos's Gvino - Saperavi 2024

$36.00

Winemaker’s notes: The craft winery Chito’s Gvino appeared in 2017. Its founder and winemaker, Nino Chitoshvili, a native of Tbilisi, is a pianist by education. She came to winemaking as a result of her love for wine, philosophy, communication, and art in general. Moreover, Nino is convinced that the emotional response from the contact with wine better harmonizes with her inner world than music. For this reason, six years ago, the first qvevris were buried in the courtyard of her house. Nino is an advocate of natural, organic winemaking. During the fermentation, she does not use cultured yeast, and the wine is not filtered.

All wines only undergo natural vinification in qvevri for 7-9 months. All wines are produced only from grapes from the company’s own vineyards, which are located in Kakheti, in the village of Vachnadziani. This micro-zone of Mukuzani is ideal for producing both Saperavi and amber wines. Only organic preparations are used for vineyard care, and the natural diversity of flora characteristic of this terroir is cultivated. And only methods characteristic of the biodynamic concept of communication with nature are applied in winemaking.

A premium-class dry red wine from this beautiful place. Fermentation and vinification is done in qvevri for 7 months, unfiltered with moderate body and tannins. Dark in color with aromas of spices, followed by plum, blackberry, with a touch of tobacco and a light creaminess in the aftertaste. A wine with high aging potential.

Pairs well with meat dishes, aged cheeses, aged cheddar chips and mesquite BBQ chips.

Region: Kakheti, Georgia

Grape: 100% Saperavi (kvevri)

Vintage: 2024

750 ml
