Where did Saperavi grapes come from?

Saperavi grapes originate from Georgia, a country which has a long tradition of winemaking dating back thousands of years. “Saperavi” translates to “dye” or “color” in Georgian, which implies the very deeply colored grape skins. This autochthonous variety flourishes in the diversified terroirs of Georgia, yielding wines recognized for their vibrant color, vigorous personality, and aging capacity, thus, being a pillar of Georgian vinous heritage.
