The "Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore Novanta" wine is the Rossese that Alessandro Anfosso wanted to produce for the ninety years of his father Luciano, a beacon in both life and work. Everything was ready, everything already bottled, but fate sometimes makes petty jokes and dad Luciano left a few days before his birthday so he has never seen and tasted this wine that tastes of love and passion, dreams but, above all , smacks of family and very solid moral principles.

wine description

It comes from Rossese grapes grown in Soldano in the Poggio Pini vineyard, consisting of 18,000 square meters of vineyards of which about 6000 square meters are centenary; it is undoubtedly considered one of the most important Crus of Rossese Dolceacqua Doc. The exposure looks east and south, the land is positioned in bands with slopes of up to 60% and its structure varies from site to site. In the vineyard, thinning of the grapes is carried out on the plants with centenary vineyards for a total yield of 50 ql per hectare.

tasting notes

Ruby red wine with dense arches and difficult precipitation. On the nose, it is spicy, fruity and toasted. Elegance is the greatest feature of this Rossese; the aromas are very intense and easy to distinguish such as blackberries, wild strawberries, mulberry, raisins, tobacco and white pepper. Softness, glycerin and alcohol predominate on the palate, supported, however, by a good freshness and a fair tannin and sapidity, with a characteristic bitter aftertaste, all tied in a pleasant harmonic thread.
