About Sagarejo

Where it grows

In southwestern Kakheti, on the southern side of the Gombori Range, with the wider municipality extending towards the Iori Plateau.

Sagarejo is a town and municipality rather than a single protected wine appellation. Its wider vineyard country includes places associated with Manavi’s dry Mtsvane Kakhuri and Saperavi Khashmi’s dry red wine. Those protected names have their own defined areas and rules; they do not apply to every wine from the municipality. The contrast between foothills and more open southern landscapes makes Sagarejo a useful gateway for exploring Kakheti beyond the Alazani Valley.
