Tenuta Anfosso ROSSESE DI DOLCEACQUA SUPERIORE 2016

100% Rossese

Just across the French-Italian border from Nice, on the dramatically steep hillsides of western Liguria, Alessandro Anfosso farms Rossese in the Rossese di Dolceacqua DOC, representing the sixth generation of his family to cultivate this finicky grape that is capable of producing gorgeous wines.  Minimum of 30 year old vines.  

Deeply pigmented with spicy aromas of ripe bing cherries and a beguiling peppery undertone.  It is medium-bodied and structured on the palate.  There is a nice wash of acidity that coats the mid-palate, lending a freshness.  13.5% ABV
