Antonio Perrino, Testalonga Rossese di Dolceacqua, Liguria, Italy, 2023

Overview of the Wine
Antonio Perrino is probably the first producer of this small appellation. In the town of Dolceacqua, where time seems to stand still, almost all the inhabitants possess a small particle of Vineyard and the Antonio's is undoubtedly the oldest. Two hectares and a little more, the vineyard and a microcellar (7 barrels for all production) within the country summarize the Testalonga company. The wine in the bottle instead is the result of 50 harvests all experienced differently, but all carried out with the same gestures and the same ideas. Because of this we can now define Antonio Perrino as one of the most authentic wine producer ' normal 'in Italy

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Antonio Perrino is a determined, focused producer. Liguria is a difficult region to cultivate anything. Rossese, an obscure varietal native to western Liguria, however thrives on the region's steep, terraced vineyards. Its charming profile beguiles with wild floral aromas, redolent of violets, roses and red currants. One of a few red wines that go well with fish, it especially pairs well with crawfish and langoustines, also calamari and octopus. A fine partner to cured meats as well.
