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

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
