Fattoria Madonna delle Macchie Ruffiano di Confine Aleatico Lazio

A magnificent and extraordinarily distinctive dry red expression of the rare Aleatico grape, historically famous for sweet dessert wines. Crafted by the family-run Fattoria Madonna delle Macchie estate on the high-elevation volcanic and clay-limestone hillsides of Lazio's Tuscia region, this unique "wine of memories" balances rich concentration with alpine-like freshness. It opens with an expressive, deeply aromatic bouquet filled with ripe red forest fruits, wild strawberries, and sweet cherries, beautifully layered with warm baking spices including cinnamon and cloves. The palate is velvety, warm, and enveloping, showing finely integrated tannins and a long, persistent spiced berry finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with medium-aged pecorino cheeses, cured salumi platters, savory pasta dishes, or roasted poultry with aromatic herbs.
