U Bastio Riviera Ligure di Ponente Rossese
Riviera Ligure di Ponente, Liguria, Italy
Nice wine for the table. Had it with pesto-slathered pasta with French beans and new potatoes. Ligurian olio too. Keeping with the theme.
Oh, the wine? This is Liguria's Beaujolais, but with a different flavor profile. Light and flavorful. Nose has licorice, tomato skin, dark stones. Crushed plums and lots of cracked rocks. Some tannin actually, which may let this last and improve a year or so. But these are made to enjoy with a meal, at a cool room temp.

Light bodied wine, reminds of a Trepat from Spain.
