Portofino Rosso Doc Musaico 2019 - Bisson

Description

The Musaico Portofino Rosso by Bisson is a Ligurian red wine made from Barbera and Dolcetto grapes which in the local tradition have always been indistinctly called " munferà " or monferrine , probably because they originate from Piedmont.

Musaico is historically the first red wine bottled in Tigullio , when there was still no use of producing structured reds on the Tigullina coast.

The name itself tells of the first "recipe" of this wine, which was a set of grapes and vineyards scattered in this part of Liguria, a sort of mosaic in fact.

Portofino Musaico is today a wine that has an intense ruby red color , fragrant aromas of fruit and a strong but not heavy body .
