The Bordeaux glass is perfect for a bodied red wine.
It is taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl.
The large size of the glass allows the bouquet to develop. It smooths out rough edges, plays down tannins, and allows the wines to achieve balance.
The slimmer bowl sends the wine directly to the back of the mouth for maximum taste.
Rossese di Dolceacqua / Dolceacqua DOC was the first DOC in Liguria (1972).
The Red wine must contain minimum 95% Rossesse grapes.
Minimum alcohol levels are 12.0% for Rosso and 13.0% for Superiore.
