Rossese di Dolceacqua (or simply Dolceacqua) is arguably the finest red wine made in Liguria, in northwestern Italy. Made from the Rossese grape variety which is little seen outside of the Mediterranean Alps, these wines are brightly colored with a fresh, tangy palate, along with notes of blackcurrant and herbs. In a wine region otherwise ruled by refreshingly light-bodied, aromatic white wines (mostly made from Vermentino and Albarola), this kind of characterful red wine has an obvious allure.
