Get ready for an intense evening where passion, tradition and the power of a legendary grape come together in a memorable wine duel.
Saperavi from Moldova vs Saperavi from Georgia — the homeland of this iconic variety.

Two wine cultures. Two interpretations. One grape with a strong personality.
This comparative tasting invites you to discover not only differences in aroma and structure, but also in philosophy, terroir and winemaking style.

The tasting is curated and guided by Wine Republic’s head sommelier, Vadim Brînzeanu, who has selected 6 expressive wines to create a true dialogue between the two countries.
