Grape variety: Aleatico

The grapes are harvested only at the height of their concentration, when the unmistakable flavours of the aromatic variety and jamminess of the grapes implode, enveloping the palate with sweetness. The stems of the bunches are twisted to support them and they are left on the vine in the hot September sun to dry approximately 40% of the grapes. The grapes are cut with great care and brought into the cellar where, after a brief and intense cold maceration, they are pressed to extract the colour that will be used to mature the wine in 100-litre oak barrels where fermentation and ageing will commence. The purple-red colour, velvety like a rose petal, is almost impalpable.
The typical aromas of this grape variety, with notes of dog roses, are a reminder of late spring on the Maremma coast. On the palate the heat of the alcohol blends with jammy sugars that are an invasion of pleasure, leaving our taste buds primed to receive the most persuasive hints of sweet and spicy dried fruits and notes of apricot.
