Punta Crena, Riviera Ligure di Ponente Rossese, 2024
Rossese is Liguria's great red grape — rarely seen outside the region, deeply local, and entirely its own creature. Punta Crena grows it on the same terraced schist cliffs above Varigotti where the family has farmed for generations. The result is a red of genuine delicacy: low alcohol, brilliant acidity, and a floral lightness that puts it closer to a great Pinot Noir or Loire Cabernet Franc than anything one might associate with the Mediterranean. It is a wine of terroir transparency and personality, and there is almost none of it outside Italy. Drink it slightly chilled alongside almost anything from the sea.
