Larga Valley by Novak Saperavi 2022
Dark and intense, this Saperavi from Moldova is a red wine of impressive structure and deep body. Its aromas of ripe dark berries, black cherries and fine spicy notes unfold harmoniously on the palate. The long, velvety finish is borne by discreet tannins. A characterful companion to game, grilled red meat or robust cheeses.

Food Pairing
Grilled meats, Moldovan cuisine, cheese.
A powerful red wine from the sun-kissed south of Moldova, in the Comrat region. The Saperavi grape – a teinturier variety of Caucasian origin from Georgia, cultivated here in southern Moldova – reveals itself in the 2022 vintage with a deep, almost impenetrable colour. Its intense bouquet unfolds aromas of dark berries, plum, chocolate and clove, while on the palate it is powerful and full-bodied, carried by lively acidity and a dense tannic structure. An ideal companion to hearty meat dishes, braised roasts, grilled fare and spicy cheeses. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.
