Origin
Lago di Bolsena, Latium, Italy

The vines stand on loose volcanic soil at Lago di Bolsena, at an altitude of 450 metres and with a south-easterly exposure; the vineyard is trained using the Guyot system and is 30 years old on average. Aleatico is initially vinified as a rosé and partly fermented in stainless steel tanks, then continues fermenting for two weeks on the Merlot pomace. The wine then matures for twelve months in stainless steel tanks and for 30 months in bottle. It displays a ruby-red colour, ripe cherry and herbal notes, pronounced acidity, noticeable tannins, medium body and persistent fruit. Its distinctive feature is the unusual Ripasso technique using Merlot pomace.
