Red
Delightfully aromatic and light, this grape is one of Italy’s most ancient varieties, sharing a parent-offspring relationship with Moscato Bianco and sometimes recognized as Moscatello Nero.
Aleatico can be made into both dry and sweet styles, excelling particularly in rosé production.
Notably, the production of air-dried sweet wine from Aleatico is a labor-intensive process, predominantly carried out on the islands of Elba and Capraia in Italy, rendering it a luxurious and sought-after delicacy.
Sweet wines are celebrated for their intense, concentrated aromas and complex flavors, reminiscent of a vibrant medley of spicy red and black cherries. These luxurious wines are further enhanced by the fragrant essence of red roses, violet, and lavender, creating a floral bouquet that is both captivating and alluring. The flavor profile is enriched with a delightful array of spices, featuring warm hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, adding depth and complexity to the overall tasting experience. This intricate combination of fruit and floral notes, interwoven with subtle spices, makes sweet wines a truly indulgent and memorable sensory delight.
