Tasting Notes: The Testalonga Rossese di Dolceaqua opens with a touch of funk and reduction that blows off after 15 minutes to reveal an incredibly complex nose filled with exotic spicebox aromas and a velvet smooth palate that expands with more time in the glass. Not the simple, easygoing wines typical of the appellation, this is multi-faceted and deserving of comparison to the great wines of Italy.
Estate History: Antonio Perrino of Testalonga is arguably the top producer of this tiny appellation. All winemakers in Dolceacqua have tiny production as a result of the small parcels of steeply terraced vineyards. His Rossese is all in the Arcagna vineyard, considered one of the best sites in the appellation. Less than 1ha in size!
