Aleaticu

This variety, originating from the Cap Corse, has unusual and luxurious aromas (muscat, rose, lychee).

It makes wines that are noteworthy for their pronounced colour. In a blend, Aleaticu brings notes that emphasize the uniqueness of the variety, while producing a surprising final result (floral aromas and muscat). Indeed, the flesh of the Aleaticu fruit is full of character – juicy, crunchy, with flavours of muscat.
The natural acidity and aromatic intensity of this variety makes it particularly suitable for making sweet red wines. In a blended rosé, it brings notes of lychee, rose and potpourri.
