Aleatico - Elba sweet wine

Aleatico Passito dell'Elba DOCG: the "meditation wine"

The Azienda Agricola Mola farm that produces this Passito Aleatico is located between Porto Azzurro and Capoliveri on Elba Island (Tuscany) and produces wine since 1956 with the typical indigenous grape variety.

Aleatico is the native grape variety par excellence: it extends over 40 hectares; has a delicate and thin skin and can not bear a long stay on the plant after ripening. The yield is very low.

This Passito is natural, of extraordinary elegance and aromatic intensity. For its characteristics, the Aleatico dell'Elba is a real "meditation wine" and requires a careful and prolonged tasting.

Organoleptic characteristics:

Intense ruby ​​red color, it can take after a few years of refinement amber hues. The fragrances are distinctive and decisive: intense smell of ripe fruit, especially of sea and bitterness, of figs and undergrowth. In the older versions emerge scents of undergrowth and spices, while the sweet feeling in the mouth tends to leave room for greater complexity and balance. The taste is soft with a definite note of tannins, the initial sweet feeling leaves place to a persistent note of blackberries and jams of red fruits and figs.

Service temperature 12-14 ° C, allowing it to rest in the glass for a few minutes so that the aromas can best be revealed.

It can be consumed alone, or combined with soft and dry doughs, or in combination with chocolate desserts.
