The wine Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore Luvaira by Tenuta Anfosso
The Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore Luvaira from Tenuta Anfosso is a Ligurian enological excellence, originating from the historic vineyards of San Biagio della Cima. This wine stands out for its ability to express the complexity and refinement of the Rossese grape, planted in 1905 and carefully cultivated on schist-clay and limestone soils. The unique solar exposure and microclimatic conditions of Luvaira give the wine unmistakable organoleptic characteristics.
The Winemaking
The winemaking of Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore Luvaira is a meticulous process that enhances the innate qualities of the grapes. A portion of the grapes is left undestemmed, varying between 50% and 60% depending on the year, to preserve greater structure and complexity. Fermentation occurs on the skins for about 12-15 days at a constant temperature of 26-28°C. This method allows for optimal extraction of aromas and tannins, giving the wine a robust yet balanced body. Subsequently, the wine matures for 12 months in steel tanks and further refines for 8 months in the bottle, developing an aging potential over 10 years.
Tasting the wine of the winery
Upon tasting, the Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore Luvaira presents a bouquet of remarkable intensity and complexity. Fruity notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, arbutus, and cassis harmoniously intertwine with floral hints of withered rose. The olfactory profile is enriched by spices such as pink pepper, followed by notes of leather and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is dry and warm, balanced by an enveloping softness and a lively freshness. The tannin is well-present, providing structure, while the good sapidity completes a tasting experience of extraordinary finesse and persistence.
Food Pairings
Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore Luvaira lends itself to numerous culinary pairings, enhancing dishes of game, red meats, and lamb. Its organoleptic characteristics also perfectly match Ligurian traditional cuisine and aged cheeses. The complexity and balance of the wine make it an ideal companion to enhance intense and structured flavors, offering a complete and refined gastronomic experience.
