Rossese

Rossese is a red wine grape variety predominantly grown in the Liguria region of Italy, particularly in the Riviera Ligure di Ponente. This grape produces wines that are typically light to medium-bodied with a bright, ruby-red color. The aroma profile of Rossese wines often includes red berries, cherries, and floral notes, sometimes complemented by subtle hints of herbs and spices.

On the palate, these wines are known for their refreshing acidity and smooth tannins, making them approachable and easy to drink. The flavors tend to reflect the aromatic profile, with vibrant red fruit and a slightly earthy undertone. Rossese wines are generally best enjoyed young, although some can benefit from a few years of aging.

They pair well with a variety of foods, including seafood, pasta, and light meat dishes, owing to their versatility and balanced character.
