Aleatico

Aleatico is a semi-aromatic black grape variety of Greek origin. Its name seems to derive from the Greek Iouliatico, that is "which matures in the month of July". Today it is widespread especially in Tuscany, especially on the island of Elba and on the Grosseto and Livorno coasts, in Apulia and Lazio. Related to the distant with the White Moscato and genetic variant of the black berry Moscato, it resembles the Piedmontese grapes for perfumes and flavor. This aromaticity and its ability to accumulate sugars make it an ideal grape variety for the production of passito wine, one above all. Elba Aleatico Passito DOCG.
