Rebosso is 100% Vermentino from Tenuta Selvadolce's terraced vineyards on the hills above Bordighera, in the far western corner of Liguria near the French border. The vines are trained in Guyot at a density of 7,000 plants per hectare on calcareous-clay soils at roughly 150 meters above sea level. The estate's south-facing terraces are built on dry-stone walls and catch constant sea breezes off the Ligurian coast, with the Mistral wind periodically depositing microscopic sea-salt crystals on the canopy.
Grapes are harvested by hand with selection in the vineyard. Fermentation is spontaneous using only indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine then moves to concrete vats where it rests on its fine lees for approximately 20 months before bottling without fining or filtration. Sulfite additions are minimal.
In the glass, Rebosso shows the classic Ligurian-Vermentino profile: straw-gold color, citrus pith and white stone fruit on the nose, with herbal Mediterranean scrub notes and a distinct iodine-saline lift. The palate is dry, full, and driven by a firm acid-salt backbone, finishing with the bitter almond note typical of Vermentino at this latitude.
The appellation is Terrazze dell'Imperiese IGT, the designation used for wines from the hills of the Imperia province that fall outside the stricter Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC parameters. Annual production is approximately 2,000 bottles.
