Aleatico
Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧

The wine shows a soft ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals a pretty complex personality mainly oriented to jam aromas and dried flowers. The main characteristic is a pleasing and intense aroma of strawberry jam and black cherry jam followed by aromas of dried rose and dried geranium. The mouth denotes a pleasing and intense flavor of strawberry jam and a good correspondence to the nose. The wine is intense, tannins are clearly perceivable although well balanced by alcohol. The finish is persistent with firm flavors of strawberry jam. Negrino is produced in the best vintages only by allowing grapes to dry on the vine and if made by macerating skins at low temperature for 7-8 days.
