The unique wine, Rossese di Dolceacqua, is produced in the medieval town of Dolceacqua, in the Imperia province of Liguria.
The history of the wine can be traced to the17th century and to the Marchese di Dolceacqua. Rossese di Dolceacqua was also enjoyed by Pope Paul III, who was noted for his insistance on a different wine for each occasion and circumstance. It appears that the pontiff always drank Rossese Passito with his soup.
Rossesse di Dolceacqua Superiore is made in very small quantities each year (4200 bottles), the alcohol level must exceed 13% and the wine must be aged in oak casks from Slovenia.
