This Rossese di Dolceacqua displays a ruby colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it reveals a refined profile, characterised by ripe fruit and delicate floral and spicy notes. The palate offers a dry, warm and smooth sip, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ewell-defined structure\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant savoury sensation. The finish is marked by a \u003cstrong\u003efine freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a persistent aftertaste. The balance between its components ensures remarkable \u003cstrong\u003elongevity\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing it to age positively for over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the Galeae area of Soldano, in the Ligurian Val Verbone. The place name refers to an ancient Saracen prison camp, bearing witness to the area's deep history. The vines grow in a \u003cstrong\u003enatural amphitheatre\u003c\/strong\u003e at four hundred metres above sea level, protected by a mild climate and favoured by a south-eastern exposure. The roots sink into \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in fragmented rocks, which are responsible for the wine's distinctive savouriness. In this environment between sea and mountains, Ka Manciné carries out careful \u003cstrong\u003evineyard restoration\u003c\/strong\u003e, strengthening the family's agricultural ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe agronomic approach is based on minimal intervention, using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003egoblet training\u003c\/strong\u003e system with high planting density. Production involves a late harvest with overripe grapes, ideal for enriching the wine's organoleptic profile. Vinification includes a \u003cstrong\u003elong skin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, with some of the bunches processed without destemming to extract the pure varietal essence. Fermentation and maturation take place exclusively in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e. This process avoids aromatic interference, preserving the wine's original lively taste.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKa Mancine Galeae Dolceacqua\u003c\/strong\u003e encapsulates the soul of the Val Verbone, the result of a project launched in 1998 to revive the most precious family traditions.
