Saperavi
Telavi is a welcoming gateway to Kakhetian wine, linking historic streets and cellars with the vineyards of the Alazani Valley.
Telavi is a wine town and the centre of a wider municipality, rather than a single protected appellation named Telavi. Cellars in and around the town introduce many Kakhetian grapes, qvevri traditions and more familiar steel- or oak-raised wines. Nearby protected origins give more precise vineyard identities. A Telavi winery can also make wines from elsewhere, so the bottle’s stated origin helps connect a tasting to the place where the grapes grew. Use the town as a starting point for exploring the surrounding villages.
