Tavkveri, the red variety of dominance in Kartli, has a cranberry and cola quality that gives sparkling wine comparable to fine Lambrusco. Hand disgorged and topped with the same wine. It is a sparkling wine free of any additions that allows the drinker to consume it almost endlessly. It is a delight with charcuterie, pungent cheeses or pizza.
