#TryJanuary – A Rossese di Dolceacqua from Liguria, Italy
Following the #TryJanuary tradition, this year my pick is a wonderful ‘Poggio Pini’ Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore by Tenuta Anfosso. This elegant red wine comes from Liguria, in north west Italy. A must-visit region for every Italian winelover
Festive Drinking, an Italian Affair
I found myself drinking more Italian wine during the last Christmas break. Here are the four most interesting wines I drank: a Riesling from Oltrepò Pavese, a Piedirosso from Campania, a Nero di Troia from Puglia and a sweet Bianco di Greco from Calabria. My New Year’s gift to my readers dotted with juicy tasting notes!
