IO is a blend of the two varieties - widespread Chinuri and super rare Chkapa.
While Chkapa is only 20% of the volume, only its skins were used during maceration and this makes Chkapa very notable.
IO is an elegant, very pleasant wine. Its high acidity and smokey tones mingle with the aromas of linden honey and tangerine peel, and some yellow field flowers, with a bit of herbal touch to it.
It is strongly recommended to decant this wine for at least half an hour, before consuming it.
