Tchotiashvili Nitsa SB Montepulciano Rose 2019 is a dry Georgian rosé with a story worth sharing. Made from Montepulciano in Kakheti, it brings an Italian grape into Georgia’s qvevri tradition. The grape juice ferments in qvevri without the skins, giving this wine a bright, delicate rosé character. It comes in an individually numbered bottle finished with natural cork and a striking red wax seal.
🍷 Pour a glass and enjoy its luminous rose colour. Redcurrant, strawberry, pomegranate and cornelian cherry meet gentle floral notes on the nose. The palate is lively and clean, with red berries, a touch of barberry and refreshing acidity leading into a long, harmonious finish. It has enough character to keep a wine lover interested, while remaining inviting for someone who simply wants a fresh glass alongside food. TTchotiashvili Nitsa SB Montepulciano Rose is especially enjoyable when you have time to let the aromas unfold.
🍽️ Start with it as an aperitif or bring it to a table of chilled salads, seafood, vegetables and pkhali. Pasta with a tomato-based sauce, baked dishes and mild cheese are also easy partners. Serve at 14–16°C and consider decanting before pouring. It is a lovely bottle for a relaxed dinner, a small celebration or a gift to someone curious about Georgian wine. In the 2024 IWSC Wine Judging in Georgia, this exact 2019 Rosé Nitsa SB received a Bronze medal with 85 points.
