Its production is broad in terms of wine styles but focuses on the use of indigenous grape varieties. The name Badagoni is a reference to the ancient god of winemaking. Saperavi grapes, an ancient indigenous Georgian grape variety, are selected when overripe and harvested in the area of Akhasheni. The result is a semi-sweet wine according to Georgian tradition. Badagoni Akhasheni is a lively and flavorful wine with a clear dark ruby ​​color. On the nose, it reveals a delicate and elegant aromatic profile with exquisite fruity notes of pomegranate, cherry, strawberry, and fresh berries. On the palate, it is soft, round, light-bodied, and smooth with a measured acidity that balances well with the gentle natural sweetness. It is juicy and fruity, with a long lingering finish. Its delicate sweet taste makes it ideal for red fruit tarts or light chocolate-based desserts.
