Aleatico di Gradoli
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Recognized in 1973, the Aleatico di Gradoli DOC defines a highly specialized viticultural pocket in Lazio, spanning just four municipalities including Gradoli. This denomination distinguishes itself from neighbouring regional reds through its strict focus on the aromatic Aleatico grape, which must make up at least 95% of the blend. Production is characterized by four distinct technical sub-types, ranging from a fresh base wine with 11.5% minimum alcohol to a liquoroso riserva aged in small oak barrels of 250 liters or less. Additionally, its concentrated passito style requires drying grapes to a minimum sugar level of 280 grams per liter, yielding a garnet-red dessert wine with violet highlights.
