Areni Noir
ARENI GRAPE
The ancient ancestor of Pinot, grown in the volcanic soils of Armenia for over 6,100 years.β¨
Malbec
ARMENIAN MALBEC
A full-bodied and smooth single-varietal red wine with rich, fruity, and savory flavors.
Sauvignon Blanc
Voskehat & Kangun Grapes
Light-bodied and dry, with a soft, almost creamy texture that makes it very easy to drink.
I picked each of these wines myself. Here's why.
Areni Noir
Smooth, dry, and easy to drink β with just enough dark cherry and spice to keep it interesting. This was the first wine I tried from Armenia, and I couldn't put it down. It drinks like something twice the price.
Malbec
Full-bodied, dry, and rich β dark plum, a little chocolate, clean finish. My rule was simple: if someone who doesn't like red wine asks for a second glass, it's in. This one passed every time.
Sauvignon Blanc
Light, crisp, and refreshing β hints of honey, green apple, and peach. I wasn't a white wine person until I tried this. Now I keep a bottle in the fridge at all times.
The Birthplace of Wine
From Ancient Soil To Your Table
Long before the vineyards of France and Italy, long before the cellars of Napa Valley, there was Armenia β the cradle of winemaking. In 2011, archaeologists discovered the world's oldest known winery in the Areni-1 cave complex, dating back over 6,200 years.
This is not just wine. This is liquid heritage β a direct connection to the very origins of viticulture.

WHAT MAKES ARMENIAN WINE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I'M USED TO?
WHAT MAKES ARMENIAN WINE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I'M USED TO?
Armenia is one of the oldest winemaking regions on earth β the world's earliest known winery was discovered there, dating back over 6,000 years. The high-altitude vineyards in the Ararat Valley and Vayots Dzor region produce grapes with a natural depth and character you won't find in California or Europe. These aren't trendy wines β they're ancient ones.
ARE THESE DRY OR SWEET?
ARE THESE DRY OR SWEET?
All three Armenian wines are dry. The Areni and Malbec are full-flavored reds with no residual sweetness. The Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and refreshing β it has natural fruit notes like honey and peach, but it finishes dry, not sweet.
WHAT FOOD DO THESE PAIR BEST WITH?
WHAT FOOD DO THESE PAIR BEST WITH?
The Areni pairs beautifully with lamb, pasta, or a cheese board. The Malbec is excellent with any grilled or braised meat β steak, short ribs, khorovats. The Sauvignon Blanc works well with fish, chicken, light pasta, or a mezze spread. All three are great at the dinner table.
ARE THESE WINES AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND?
ARE THESE WINES AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND?

WHY DID MICHAEL CHOOSE ARMENIAN WINES?
WHY DID MICHAEL CHOOSE ARMENIAN WINES?
Michael discovered Armenian wine during a personal transformation in his life and was struck by the quality, the history, and the story behind it. He built Franzese Wine around these bottles because he believed they deserved a wider audience. Every wine in the Armenian lineup is one he personally selected and stands behind.
