• 6 bottle of 2019 Andrea Occhipinti Alea Viva Rosso Aleatico

An expressive and aromatic Alea Viva Rosso and Organic Aleatico. This delicious wine from the Lazio region is a superb example of the energy one can find by making wines naturally. It is one of the most remarkable examples of what winemaking techniques and soil can obtain when perfectly combined. This wine is made from Aleatico 100%, which is something special to have in our home cellar ready to surprise your guests. The wine is also very versatile with pairings making it an unmistakable choice with any meal.

I felt a connection with this wine and its producer straight away, and I consistently select it when creating new wine lists for its a real example of classic grapes made with respect and harmony. I love to serve this wine and explain all the philosophy involved in the making of it.

Ruby colour with an expressive and aromatic nose displaying hints of raspberry, liquorice, cinnamon and pepper. The crisp acidity makes the palate tingle with excitement, while the mineral characteristics add length to this wine.
