Didgori 2017 Georgia Racha Sakipiano
On a Winter's night Giorgi Kipiani's "Sakipiano" plucked each note from a warm bowl of borsch with the fathomless pitch of horsehair drawn across taut steel. While the bitter undertones of dill were sweetened by the succulent black cherry of the illustrious Aleksandrouli , the earthy flavors of boiled potatoes and beetroot plunged into the inky depths of the tart Mujuretuli. The blend caused the imagination to hover over the Rioni river basin where the Racha village seems to sit upon roots as deep as the surrounding snow-capped mountains. It is here that the young Kipiani works his family's vines, by hand in rhythm with the surrounding fauna. The wine is buried in Kvevri and finally bottled with no additions. At 12% abv this wine is deceptively "light." A soulful bottle from the foothills of Western Georgia. Amanda Bowman
