Selvadolce ‘Rosso…se’ Rossesse 2020

Liguria, Italy

100% Rossesse

Emily says…

”Fragrant, Spicy and pure. Pronounced notes of crushed pepper, rose with ripe fruit. The pallet is smooth and refined with depth and a length that continues to unravel”

Winemaking

”Spontaneous fermentation in durmast barrels and maceration with the skins for 3 weeks. Ageing lasts 21 months on the lees with batonnage. 

Voluntarily declassified, renouncing the DOC which in 2008 was suggesting its acidification.”

Selvadolce 

The estate is located in the Bordighera municipality and faces the most western part of Ligurian sea. The heat of the sun of the Riviera is mitigated by a constant sea breeze that sometimes gives way to the impetuous Magistrale wind.

“Here at Selvadolce we believe that the only way to produce wine is to produce it in a natural manner… This way is the only one that we find interesting: working well in the vine, respecting nature and the plants, assist its transformation into wine, and making sure that nature does the best it can…

Why produce it differently? It is this easy…“
