Producer Comments

A truly non-South African grape, but native to Iran, these grape spices your palate from when it first starts ripening. A pleasure at sight for many farmers hanging in full, big bunches, gives you a thrill of fear when it starts drying under the summer African sun. Fighting against emotions felt by Italian producers whom are not used to this grape, ends in love when the first juice is in the tank. And you can’t live without it once you’ve eventually tasted the first wine from the properly aged bottle.
