What it pairs with

  • Aged cheese
    Listed on the producer's technical sheet; salt and fat soften the firm tannin.
  • Roast poultry
    Marani's own second pairing, and a Saperavi at this weight can carry dark bird meat.
  • Mtsvadi of beef
    Kakheti's vine-cutting grill is the wine's home table; char meets oak spice.
