Light, flavorfully fruity red that is delightful. Reminds me a tad of alea viva aleatico, a hint of earthiness. Paired with homemade stuffed bell peppers. Would buy again. — 6 years ago

9.4

Luminous red. Aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, cinnamon, vineyard peach, and pink flowers. A sweet explosion of floral red fruits and sweet spices follows through in the rich, suave mouth, firmed by a suggestion of orchard fruit pit. Penetrating and perfumed on the very sweet (240g/L r.s.) and very long finish. Remarkably well balanced (the extremely high but harmonious 9.8g/L total acidity allows this super-sweet to convey a very light on its feet quality), this wine from the beautiful but little-known island of Capraia off the Tuscan coast is an absolute knockout. Made from organically farmed grapes air-dried for 14 days. Will work equally well with a plum crumble or a chocolate cake. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, October 2017) — 7 years ago

For $9 from Astor wines, this is a phenomenal bang for your buck every day red. Kind of like the earthiness of the Alea Viva aleatico, slightly fruitier and deeper, but for the price, it’s fantastic value for a tasty red. — 6 years ago

Spectacular wine... hints of rose, lavender, strawberry. Full bodied and smooth...juicy and not tannic in the least. Super wine ( aleatico superiore NOT Sangiovese) which is made from a grape cloned from aleatico and grown 400 m above sea level. — 7 years ago

2016 vintage. Distinctive and very floral. White peach, rose water, raspberry, guava, iris, lemon curd, strawberry bubblegum. Palate seems almost manic and all over the place, but in a less obnoxious way. 75 Primitivo 25 Aleatico. — 8 years ago
