NOTES
A unique wine, red, sweet and rare, almost unknown to most people, Aleatico dell’Elba is produced at present in very limited quantities!

This wine is made exclusively from Aleatico grapes cultivated on the island of Elba. Harvested when completely ripe during the first few days of September the grapes are left on drying racks in the sun for a week. After that they are taken off the bunches and left to macerate for five days.

This method of production is traditional, similar to the one used on the Mediterranean islands, and gives the wine a decided character and remarkable personality.
