Vino Slow

Vino slow - slow wine:

As time and input permit (we're quite slow around here), we will be providing useful information on Italian wines produced using unusual indigenous grapes. If you have a favorite or know of an unusual wine from Tuscany, Liguria, Umbria and also elsewhere in Italy, please let us know: wine@vino-slow.com

Ligurian wines and vines Liguria's most notable wines include the Cinqueterre white wine, made from Bosco grapes together with Vermentino and Albarola. The red wine Dolceacqua is an attractive DOC wine made with the Rossese grape. It may also be labeled Rossese di Dolceacqua. In addition, the Ligurian region makes several good quality white wines from the Pigato and Vermentino varietals.
	Costa di Brazzo Colline di Levanto Bianco DOC Produced especially at Brazzo in the municipality of Levanto, La Spezia province, Tuscany. Grapes: Vermentino, Albarola, Bosco Available from: La Cantina Levantese
