"A young, vibrant, flavourful, wine from Lazio (Rome’s region) with lemon/green apple/herbal notes and a titch of cider vinegar belying low-intervention/low-sulfur winemaking. Aleatico, an ancient Italian red variety, is famous for sweet rosso/rosato wines: this dry white style is pioneered by Andrea Occhipinti. Huge food pairing potential: seafood, white meats, cream sauces and vegetarian. Best to drink young. The quality shows in the persistent finish. (2016 tasted 29 Oct 2017)"
