Vinification
Saperavi grapes are hand-picked at the optimum of their maturity in the middle of September. Softly de-stemmed and crushed they are cooled down to 4°C and macerated on skins for 8-10 hours. Then the juice is drained and settled. The fermentation proceeded at controlled temperature (15-18°C) in stainless steel tanks, using selected yeast strains. When the fermenting juice reaches optimum sugar/acidity balance, fermentation is stopped by cooling, in order to retain the natural sweetness and freshness of the wine.
