THE GRAPES AND THE VINEYARDS

Aleatico is a variety introduced into Italy from Greece since ancient times which successively found its ideal acclimatization in the area surrounding the Lake of Bolsena. Here the correspondence between the vineyard and pedoclimatic characteristics is complete, this is where the vineyard of the agricultural estate “Pomele” is situated. The estate is managed in a joint venture with Faculty of the Agricultural studies of the University in Viterbo.

THE VINIFICATION

The overseeing of the vineyard is done with great care so that every plant grows in the best balance. The production at 600 grams of grapes per plant and the vinifi cation resulting from 3 days of cold maceration on the skins are meant to preserve and intensify the important aromas which we get from this special variety of grapes.

THE WINE

This Aleatico is an ideal dessert wine of great ductility. Sweet with an extraordinary aromatic range it is rich in fragrant varietal aromas ideal to accompany dessert and pastry.
