'Crescendo' Tenuta Selvadolce 2021

"Crescendo" is a white wine produced by Selvadolce, a small company on the western Ligurian Riviera. It expresses the marine character of Liguria, with a harmonious and Mediterranean profile. The aromas are oriented toward ripe white fruit, with light spicy nuances. The sip is savory and crisp, with a very balanced freshness.

The "Crescendo" wine is made from the youngest vines on the entire estate. The Selvadolce winery is located at the far end of the Riviera di Ponente, almost on the border with France, in the hilly hinterland of Bordighera; 7 hectares managed under biodynamic agriculture, set in an unspoiled natural landscape, among centuries-old olive trees, dry stone walls and Buganvillee. The vines are grown at an altitude of about 150-200 meters above sea level, facing south. The vines are trained by the Guyot system on limestone-clay soils. Harvesting is done manually with selection in the vineyard of only ripe bunches. Fermentation takes place in wood spontaneously and only with the use of indigenous yeasts. After aging, it is then bottled under vacuum, without clarification or filtration.

Tenuta Selvadolce's "Crescendo" white is an ideal wine to pair with seafood cuisine. Its Mediterranean face, savory and marine notes go harmoniously with a seafood menu. It is an expressive and intense wine, made with the desire to enhance without mediation and intervention in the cellar, the primary characteristics of the Pigato grape. In the glass, it presents itself with a straw-yellow color. The nose opens on aromas of white fruit, citrus notes and light nuances of spices. The palate is relaxed with a harmonious, savory sip that closes with a pleasant final freshness.
