Andrea Occhipinti, Aleatico "Alea Viva" Lazio, Italy 2022

Aleatico is a native grape that's typically vinified into a dessert wine. However, in this case, Andrea Occhipinti offers a compelling, aromatic, dry version. This is a red wine made from vines planted on the volcanic slopes of Lake Bolsena, the largest volcanic lake in Europe.

The highly aromatic nose offers notes of wild raspberry and lively dark fruits and tannins. The wide range of flavors, medium tannins and acidity, make this a versatile pairing for a range of foods.

Organic and biodynamic, made with minimal intervention.
