The 2010 Pomele Aleatico is a gracious, mid-weight dessert wine. Sweet candied cherries, dried flowers, spices and herbs are woven together nicely. The Pomele is a fresh, unoaked wine meant for near-term drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
Brothers Renzo and Riccardo Cotarella make a wide range of wines at Falesco, their family-owned winery on the Umbria/Lazio border. As always, readers will find a number of great values in this lineup. The range includes three additions that have been in the works for the last few years; the Sagrantino, Syrah Tellus and Assisi Rosso, the wine I am personally the most excited about.
