Anna Karenina and Saperavi

Georgia has made wine for around 8,000 years, and its signature red grape was prized across the Russian Empire. Saperavi is one of the few red grapes with red flesh as well as red skin, so it makes an inky, intensely colored wine.

Expect black cherry, dark plum and licorice with a firm, lively backbone. It has the scale for Tolstoy’s sweeping drama and enough freshness to carry you through all eight parts.
