Le Russeghine Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato 2018

A nice pigato from Liguria. Floral on the nose, medium bodied, medium acid on the finish. But more interesting than that suggests somehow - just a nice wine. — 5 years ago

Laura Aschero

Riviera Ligure di Ponente Vermentino 2017

Pretty nose of yellow flowers, lemon peel, lime zest, peach, apricot, and thyme with a salty tang and medium acid on a medium bodied frame, with candied orange peel and herbs on the long finish

Luvaira Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore 2017

Awesome wine. Nose is ripe but full of fresh black cherry; cherry liquer, herbal notes, some bay. Beautiful red fruit acid driven wine with lots of minerals on the palate. Rossese has got to be the varietal find of the year for me. So lithe and pure and delicious. But I think this will develop for years. — 4 years ago

Galeae Dolceacqua Rossese 2015

Continue to like Rossese, and this is a nice one. Lighter bodied - sort of Italy’s answer to loire cab franc. Tons of tart cherry - really tons of red fruit. Good acid. A bit simple perhaps quite tasty. — 5 years ago

This is a nice, light bodied, soft red with excellent pure fruit that’s all still held together with good acid. Perfect at about 55 degrees. Nice and a good value. — 6 years ago

Alas, a great showing for this great white. Very persistent and mineral driven, yet round generous too. But I don't get the sense it wants more bottle age. — 7 years ago

@Kyle Harvey agreed about Ligurian wines!! @Jeff Savigny Cinqueterre is kind of tough though, in my opinion. This producer is the best although it's not easy to find. One of the few places that usually has it is in Rapallo: http://thewellofwines.com

@Jeff Savigny If you like dessert wine try to get some Sciacchetra. From my experience I have only found at the source . Have a wonderful trip!

Rossese di Dolceacqua 2016

Свекла, красная слива, брусника, сухая черника, вишневая косточка, чёрный перец, марганцовка, крошеный камень, легкая солоноватость во вкусе. Средне-легкое тело с хорошим напряжением, активной, но не слишком нервной кислотностью и мягким танином. Собранно и подтянуто, с нетяжёлой, естественной концентрацией. Вначале фрукт сух и неярок, подчинён минеральной структуре, при аэрации и нагревании вырастает в объёме, но не доминирует. Естественно, неглупо и с характером. — 6 years ago

Vermentino's always on my mind. From the jagged border between Tuscany and Liguria #IvanTerenzuolaGiuliani makes this glowing wines as a full-strenght demonstration of his own vitality, caution, obstinacy, imagination, respect for environment, connection with land-people-tradition...
