Foresti Rossese di Dolceacqua, Liguria

Rossese di Dolceacqua is the definitiive Ligurian red: charmingly aromatic, savory, herbal. It is made in the manner of a natural wine, organically farmed, vinified with native yeasts and no CO2 added. From a defined zone at the extreme edges of western Liguria close to the border of France, a limited number of vines continue to be cultivated in the ancient way. Foresti sources from a few top vineyards from the coastal town of Ventimiglia, and inland along the Torrente Nervia River to the village of Dolceacqua. Pair with coastal-inspired dishes such as fresh fish with pesto, pasta with a puttanesca sauce, dishes with capers and anchovies
