Leaf of the Aleatico grape variety

Aleatico is a red wine variety . Because of its subtle nutmeg taste , although it is red, it is believed to be a mutation of the Yellow Muscat grapevine. Typically sweet wines are made from it, often fortified wines as well .

There are growing areas mainly in the Italian regions of Piedmont , Tuscany , Latium , Apulia , Campania and Basilicata as well as on the islands of Elba and Corsica . It is also cultivated in Australia , Chile , California , Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan . Aleatico is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.

The wines of the Aleatico vine are included in the DOCG wine Elba Aleatico Passito and in the DOC wines Aleatico di Gradoli , Aleatico di Puglia , Gioia del Colle , Lago di Corbara and Salice Salentino .

prose

In his novella "The Paintings", Ludwig Tieck lets the old painter and wine connoisseur Eulenböck praise the Aleatico as follows:

“Well then, friends, and understand me! But I couldn't put you on, you king of all wines, you rose-red aleatico, flower and bloom of all wine spirit, milk and wine, flower and sweetness, fire and mildness at the same time! You don't drink, taste, sip or lick this miracle fellow; but a new organ opens up to the blessed, which cannot be described to the ignorant and sober. "
