Rossese di Dolceacqua / Dolceacqua DOC was the first DOC in Liguria (1972).
The Red wine must contain minimum 95% Rossesse grapes.
Minimum alcohol levels are 12.0% for Rosso and 13.0% for Superiore.
Liguria's vineyards are situated along the rugged coastline, often on steep terraced hillsides. The proximity to the sea influences its climate, creating a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers. The sea breezes help moderate temperatures, providing a favorable environment for grape cultivation.
