Dolceacqua, Liguria

Terre Bianche

Dolceacqua Rossese 2021

Somewhat less seamless than other rossese I’ve had, but still a nice wine. Pretty crimson in the glass. Definitely benefits from a bit of a chill. Medium acid, medium fruit, medium earth. Finish slightly muddled. Good pairing with sausages. — 16 days ago

Colli di Luni Vermentino

What a wonderful wine had it with some seared tuna and stir fried vegetables with just a splash of rice vinegar. The wine has a wonderful light slate nose and the most rounded and balanced taste I have had in a vermentino, just the perfect wine to cut through the fat of the tuna. This was a 2021 vintage and I will definitely be getting some more.

Punta Crena

Colline Savonesi Frizzante Lumassina 2020

Wonderful small producer find here. Lumassina is an extremely uncommon varietal with only three producers growing it, all within Colline Savonesi. High terraced vineyards produce pale straw yellow colors with a slight fizzante present brimming around the top. Has a vinegar-like smell that blows off revealing some nice citrus notes. Flavors are hard to pin down… maybe some tangerine and peach? Quite subtle. Lots of mineral feels and good structure. — 4 months ago

Majé Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato 2021

Haven’t had this wine for several years but I feel Pigato had a moment in NYC back in 2016/2017 along with Rossese. Salty and sea breezy. Nice minerality. Not intensely powerful or searing like a chablis, but quite nice. — 4 months ago

Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC Pigato 2021

Another great vintage for La Ginestraia! Crisp but full of grip and character. Stony saline notes. Hay, Hazelnut and honey. Great with rotisserie chicken in a Friday night! — 4 months ago
