The chief oenologist of Badagon company is the Italian Dr. Donato Lanatti - a person who is the owner of the international wine Oscar - "Oscar del Vino" and is among the top five oenologists in the world. Dr. Donato Lanati is a big fan of Badagoni and Georgian wine. Specially about Saperavi, his favorite grape variety, he says: "Saperavi has a strong identity, like no other wine in the world. The wine made from Saperavi is exceptionally velvety, has an intense ruby color, a charming aroma of red fruits and spices, a long and balanced finish. While tasting this perfect expression of nature, it is impossible not to feel very lucky. Such an important wine can only be the result of exceptionally well-kept vineyards and consistent, intelligent winemaking”.
