Aleatico
Aleatico is a red Italian wine grape variety. It is notable for being the primary grape in the cult wine Aleatico di Portoferraio made in Elba, but is grown most commonly in the Apulia and Lazio regions of Italy. In Chile is known as Red Moscatel. The grape has also been cultivated at Mudgee in New South Wales and California.〔J. Robinson ''Vines Grapes & Wines'' pg 189 Mitchell Beazley 1986 ISBN 1-85732-999-6〕
==History==
Ampelographers suspect that Aleatico may be a dark-skinned variant of the French wine grape Muscat blanc à Petits Grains, which is a member of the extensive Muscat family of grapes, believed to be the oldest family of ''Vitis vinifera'' in the world.〔Oz Clarke ''Encyclopedia of Grapes'' pg 35 Harcourt Books 2001 ISBN 0-15-100714-4〕 DNA profiling conducted at Istituto Agrario di San Michele all’Adige suggests that the relationship between Muscat blanc à Petits Grains and Aleatico may be that of a parent-offspring rather than just a mutation.〔Jancis Robinson (ed), ''"The Oxford Companion to Wine"'', 3rd edition (Oxford University Press, 2006, ISBN 0-19-860990-6), pp. 10-11〕 Alternative theories posit that the grape is descended from Muscat Noir. Historians also disagree on Aleatico's exact origins: the vine may have been brought to Italy by the ancient Greeks or is native to the southern Italian region of Apulia.〔S. Gold ''"(Aleatico - A little Known Italian Grape that makes a fabulous Dessert Wine )"'' Alta Cucina Epicurean Society, Accessed: December 13th, 2009〕
During the 14th century, the Italian wine writer Pietro Crescenzi wrote of wine being produced in central and southern Italy from the "Livatica" grape, today believed to be Aleatico. In Elba, there is a long history of producing dessert wines from Aleatico.〔 During his exile on Elba, the Aleatico wines of the island became a favorite drink of Napoleon.〔H. Sutton ''"(Exile me to Elba )"'' The Daily Mail, July 5th 2004〕 He was reported to have said that they were his only consolation during this time.〔
