Rossese di Dolceaqua, both the name of the grape and the DOC, is the best of the Rossese family of grapes, according to Ian D’Agata (Native Wine Grapes of Italy, University of California Press, 2014). Tenuta Anfosso is a leading producer of this grape and engaging light-weight red wine that hails from the western part of Liguria, on the border with France. Anfosso’s 2020 charms with its floral nature and lightweight, crunchy red fruit character supported by a firm structure. Unsurprisingly since food and wine “grow” together, it’s an ideal match for pasta, or anything with a pesto sauce.
