Aromatic, sweet reds with a light ruby robe, fine tannins and a luscious palate. Intense, refined aromas of rose, wild strawberry, raspberry, candied cherry, delicate muscat and soft spices. Often vinified as passito, sweet or fortified by drying; rarely as dry reds. Star of Elba Aleatico Passito DOCG and Aleatico di Gradoli DOC in Lazio, also present in Puglia. Native Italian variety, related to Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.
DOC of the Marches on the hills of Pesaro along the Foglia, Metauro and Cesano valleys (Adriatic to Apennines), clay-limestone soils, temperate Mediterranean climate. Sangiovese is the signature red (≥70% in Rosso, ≥85% in varietal): fruity and full-bodied with cherry, plum, violet, herbs and a spiced touch, firm tannins — a historic favourite of Rossini. Airy Pinot Noir complements. Textured Pecorino, taut Verdicchio and floral Biancame in mineral whites.
