Aleatico dell'Elba 2005

La Galea (Italy)

Aleatico
Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of blackberry, black cherry and geranium followed by aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, violet, plum and pink pepper. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and slightly tannic attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing roundness and crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, black cherry and strawberry. This Aleatico dell'Elba ages for 12 months in steel tanks.
