Marani Napareuli 2018 — an aristocratic dry red wine from one of the most prestigious micro-zones of Kakheti, Napareuli. Here is its brief and vivid description:
Color: Deep, "dense" dark garnet with festive ruby sparkles.
Aroma: A refined and multifaceted bouquet. It vividly features notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, and forest berries that gracefully intertwine with terroir-specific hints of licorice and a light spicy finish.
Taste: Full-bodied, harmonious, and wonderfully structured. It possesses velvety tannins and balanced freshness. In the long aftertaste, juicy dark fruits and noble astringency are felt.
Feature: Napareuli is often called the "female" Saperavi for its special elegance, softness, and lack of excessive aggressiveness in character.
This wine will make a magnificent complement to grilled meats, game, aged hard cheeses, and spicy dishes of Georgian cuisine, such as chakhokhbili.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 16–18 °C.
