Origin: Gioia del Colle, Puglia, Italy

Varietal: Aleatico*
Style: dessert style (dried-grape "passito" method)

Producer's Notes:
The grapes were harvested by hand into small boxes. They dried slowly for five weeks under strict temperature and humidity control during which they continued to develop flavor.

A•Mano Aleatico immediately shows elegance and enveloping softness. Deep ruby red in color with perfumes of red rose petals and dried cherries. These aromas give way to a dark, black cherry and spice character on the palate with rounded tannins. Sweet and luscious but not cloying, it has dried fruit and cinnamon perfumes on the finish.
