Ka Mancine Rossese di Dolceacqua Galeae 2019

Dolceacqua is a small village in the extreme west of Liguria, close to the border with France. Rossese is a local grape grown in a very limited area (about 200 acres, for a total production of 200.000 litres) on steep terraces made of schists and marls facing mostly East and South-East at altitudes between 300 and 450 metres abive sea level. The very old and low yielding vines are planted at high density (up to 8.000 vines per hectare) in the classic Greek bush system. Maurizio Anfosso and Roberta Repacci, owners of Ka Mancine, work the beautiful vineyards of Beragna and Galeae manually, with utmost respect for the environment and in harmony with the land.

The Galeae vineyard was originaly planted in the second half of 19th century and replanted in 1998. This wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel vats for 8 months. It should be served at 15 - 16C.
