Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore DOC 2024 Maixei

A red wine from the Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore DOC, made by Maixei. The Rossese grape, native to the area, is grown using the old alberello system. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 30°C in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts, with maceration lasting 6-8 days and pump-overs and délestage. Malolactic fermentation and ageing take place in steel, and the wine is released in November following the harvest. It is ruby red with garnet reflections. The bouquet recalls rose, faded violet, wild strawberry, aromatic herbs and liquorice. The palate is soft, warm and harmonious, with evolved tannins and a slightly bitter finish. It accompanies white meats and game birds.
