Wines made from Aléatico grapes of Vino da Tavola
Discover the best wines made with Aléatico as a single variety or as a blend of Vino da Tavola.
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.
The freest category of Italian wine, with no grape or zone constraint. All styles: bold reds based on Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet, Merlot), atypical blends, maker's cuvées outside DOC rules. Historic cradle of the "Super Tuscans" in the 1960s-80s (Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia) before the creation of IGT in 1992. Today dedicated to everyday wines or winemaker experiments.
