Description

Aleatico is a traditional grape variety from the hills of Lake Corbara, of ancient Etruscan origin. The vermilion-red berries, with dense, fragrant flesh, wither slowly on the vine during the breezy lake September. With refinement it acquires extraordinary complexity and a suave, intense aroma.
