Saperavi Qvevri is a type of red wine made from the Saperavi grape variety grown in the country of Georgia. The wine is fermented and aged in large clay vessels called Qvevri, which are buried underground. This traditional method of wine production imparts unique flavours and characteristics to the wine, making it distinct from other types of red wine. The wine is known for its rich, full-bodied taste and dark colour, with notes of dark fruit and spice. Saperavi Qvevri is often paired with hearty meat dishes and strong cheeses.

High-sugar concentrated grapes are picked manually. Transportation is arranged in boxes. After removal of the grape stem, dreg goes to Qvevri, in which the fermentation process is carried out with the yeast clean culture. Fermentation temperature is controlled and regulated (22-250 С). During the fermentation period grape stem is stirred 3-5 times a day. Upon completion of fermentation, generally before January (sometimes even before March). After the indicated processes, when the grape pulp cover is drawn on the bottom of Qvevri and the wine is refined, the grape pulp upper liquid is completely transparent.
