The 2022 Umano Saperavi Carbonic Maceration is a modern, energetic take on one of Georgia's most historic varietals. Crafted using full or partial carbonic maceration - a technique that enhances fruitiness and softens tannins - this wine delivers a lively, aromatic, and ultra-approachable style of Saperavi. Bottled at 750ml, it offers a refreshing contrast to the grape's typically bold, structured profile.
