Liguria
Liguria's vineyard area has been declining for years. At present, just 2000 hectares of vineyards are still being cultivated. By Italian standards, that is practically nothing. However, this has little to do with poor quality. Instead, it has a lot to do with the production conditions, which are difficult and extremely costly throughout the region. The slopes on which the vines are grown, often on microscopic terraces, can usually only be reached on foot, and on particularly steep cliffs, rope hoists and ladders are used. These are not ideal conditions and none that can be modernised in any way. Viticulture in Liguria is cultural labour in the truest sense of the word, an ongoing conflict between man and nature, in which nature often retains the upper hand.

Wein
- €38,90
Rossese is sensitive, delicate and subtle. Its colour is as transparent as contact lenses and lighter than blood. After a few years, it changes to a rust-coloured orange.

Samuele Bonanini is one of the few winegrowers who still dedicate themselves to the vines on the steep slopes of the Cinque Terre.
