History	The Arati grape, an indigenous variety, finds its origin in the fertile vineyards of Italy. It's a relatively newer grape variety, cultivated primarily in the Apulia region in Southern Italy. The cultivation of Arati began in the late 20th century, aiming to produce a grape variety that could withstand the hot and dry climate of the region while still maintaining high yields.
Ampelographic features	The Arati vine is highly productive and well-adapted to the warm Mediterranean climate. It's characterized by large, five-lobed leaves and medium-sized clusters of grapes. The berries are medium to large, spherical, and have a thick skin that is typically a deep blue-black color.
Characteristics of the wine	Arati wines are known for their robust and fruity flavor profile. They typically exhibit notes of plum, black cherry, and blackberry, with hints of spice and chocolate. The wines are medium-bodied with a good structure and round tannins, making them excellent to be enjoyed young or aged for a few years for additional complexity.
