Marani Satrapezo Saperavi 2020 – Premium Georgian Wine Aged in Qvevri and French Oak Marani Satrapezo Saperavi 2020 is a flagship Georgian red wine that beautifully unites the country’s ancient winemaking traditions with modern craftsmanship. Produced in the renowned Kakheti region, this wine is part of the prestigious Satrapezo line—named after the Georgian word for “royal table,” symbolizing wines crafted for distinction and heritage. This vintage is made from 100% Saperavi, Georgia’s iconic native red grape, and undergoes a remarkable dual-aging process: 6 months of fermentation and skin contact in traditional qvevri (clay amphorae buried underground), followed by 24 months (2 years) of aging in French oak barrels. This combination of qvevri and oak aging delivers a wine of exceptional depth, complexity, and elegance. It opens with aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant, dried plum, and earthy spice, evolving into rich flavors of ripe black fruit, leather, cocoa, and subtle oak. The tannins are firm yet refined, with a long, structured finish.
