Marani:

Marani is a wine produced by Telavi Wine Cellar since 1915 in the Kakheti province of Georgia. Marani is best known for its fine expressions of red Saperavi (also in rosé form) and white Rkatsiteli, found as single varietal releases and blends. Their vast range also covers dry whites and reds of other grapes and blends, both local varietals (such as Mtsvane and Kisi) and international (such as Merlot). They also produce late harvest dessert wines and icewines, sparkling and Chacha, the Georgian form of grappa. Their “Appellation Range” is sourced from Tsinandali, Tvishi, Vazisubani, Mukuzani, Napareuli, Kinzmaurali, Akhasheni, Kvhanchkara, Ojaleshi and Kvareli. Read less

A silky, sweet red wine that's full of blackberries, prunes and cherry fruits on the palate. What makes this more interesting are the slight tannins that add structure to this medium-bodied red wine. Finishes with a dose of minerals. You can drink this as an apèritif, some prefer it as a dessert wine. Your choice.

A silky, sweet red wine that's full of blackberries, prunes, and cherry fruits on the palate. What makes this bottle truly interesting is the slight touch of tannin giving structure to this medium-bodied wine. It finishes with a nice dose of minerals.
