Alaverdi Tradition Red

2012 Kakheti Saperavi

The Badagoni Alaverdi Tradition Red, crafted from the esteemed Saperavi grape, offers a captivating experience reflective of its Kakheti origins. This wine showcases a rich red color that invites exploration. On the palate, the body displays a fullness that is compelling yet balanced, while the acidity contributes a delightful brightness that enhances its complexity. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark berries and spices that dance harmoniously with subtle earthy undertones. Tannins are firm, providing structure and a graceful aging potential, while the wine leans towards dryness, allowing for a nuanced finish. This 2012 vintage strikes a perfect balance between tradition and modern winemaking, making it an exceptional representation of Georgian viticulture.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
