{"product_id":"rossese-cascina-feipu-dei-massaretti-natural-wine","title":"Rossese 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eCascina Fèipu dei Massaretti's Rossese is made from 100% Rossese Nero, an indigenous black-skinned grape grown in Albenga in the Savona province of Liguria. This variety is genetically distinct from the Rossese of Dolceacqua and has been cultivated along the western Ligurian coast since at least the 16th century. The wine falls under the Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC, a broad appellation covering much of the Ligurian coastline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards around Albenga sit on predominantly flat, sandy alluvial soils with a clay-calcareous component on the hillside parcels. The Mediterranean microclimate brings mild winters and hot summers, moderated by sea breezes during the day and cooler land winds at night. This diurnal shift helps the grapes retain natural acidity. The estate covers roughly 6 hectares, of which 5.2 are owned and 0.8 are leased. Farming follows integrated pest management practices with limitations on pesticide use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking is traditional: red vinification in stainless steel with daily pump-overs and cap breaks, pressing and racking after 5 to 7 days of maceration. The wine is aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before bottling. No oak is used. The result is a dry, savory red with ruby color, aromas of rose, raspberry, and strawberry, and a characteristic bitter finish typical of the variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 vintage from Liguria was generally warm and dry, producing concentrated fruit with natural freshness retained through the region's coastal winds. Rossese is best enjoyed young and slightly chilled, showcasing its bright acidity and light tannin structure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Possa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39303611842759,"sku":"MASSROSS19C","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/massaretti-rossese-dolceacqua-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186382","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/rossese-cascina-feipu-dei-massaretti-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
