Le Russeghine is the first-known single-vineyard Pigato from Liguria, which Riccardo Bruna first produced in 1972. It is a selection of middle-aged and older vines from the eponymous vineyard, above the village of Ranzo Borgo, at 230m above sea level, exposed to the Southeast. This is an historic vineyard, with the name dating back to the census of 1700 when it belonged to the Bishop's See. The soils are characterized by iron-rich red clay. The vines are 25-60 years old. This site tends to be harvested in the second half of September, about 10 days after the Garaxin vineyard down the road in Pogli, which produces the Pigato Majè. The grapes are softly pressed, the must is allowed to settle, and then fermentation begins, capped off at 18 degrees C. Aging is between stainless steel and large casks (about 20-25%) for at least 8 months, followed by extra bottle aging.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
