As with the Rebosso, the Crescendo sees no skin maceration, transferred directly into tanks for a few months of development. Salty, subtle, beguiling, the wine oscillates between something crystalline and delicate to something delightfully chewy. Invigorating waves of ripe pear and peach, pocked with white pepper, soft green herbs (tarragon, dill) and sea salt saturate the senses. With Selvadolce’s unique territory and artisanal methods, this classic Ligurian varietal reaches new heights. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Soil Expedition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41191095763024,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/products\/SelvadolceCrescendoVermentinoLiguria_7697dcf1-658b-43b9-8aec-3f4621cd5ac9.jpg?v=1750814799"},{"product_id":"selvadolce-pigato-rucantu-2021","title":"Selvadolce Pigato Rucantu 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rucantu vineyard was planted some 50 years ago by Aris's grandfather. It sees 5-7 days of skin contact before transferring to old barriques and being treated to regular battonage during its 12 months of elevage, lending  structure and weight to the finished wine. Powerful and persistent, though strung tightly with an undeniable sense of tension, the Rucantu doles out Mediterranean brush, pine resin, orange peel, honey, saffron and kerosene, with a palate that skews marine, fresh, rustic and textural with a finish of sweet spices and dried fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Soil Expedition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41191113818192,"sku":null,"price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/SelvadolceRucantu.jpg?v=1711912850"},{"product_id":"selvadolce-vermentino-vb1-2021","title":"Selvadolce Vermentino VB1 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEnigmatic, fuzzy, and riotously good, the name 'VB1' nods to grape (Vermentino), vessel (barrique), and time (1 year.) The VB1 hails for the property's oldest Vermentino vines, planted by Aris' grandfather in the 1970s to calcareous, clay-rich terraces. With a week spent on skins before being transferred to old barriques for at least a year aging on fine lees with battonage, it emerges profound and textural, though slow to reveal its full potential.

The grapes are intricate and fragile due to the difficult growing conditions, affording preciously limited production. Grown on 600m ancient borderland vines in sandy, calcareous soils on the western edge of Liguria’s rocky hills that plummet steeply into the sea, the 'Rosso…se' unfurls a bouquet of dried flowers, Mediterranean scrub, and wisps of sea spray, while ripe, dark fruits like plum, black currant, and black cherry ignite the palate. Earthy overtones of scorched herbs meld with the comforting spice of cinnamon and green peppercorn for a lengthy finish. Grippy, unobtrusive tannins and mild acidity make for a soft, rich medium-bodied wine as complex as the landscape from which it was born.","brand":"The Soil Expedition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41191143440464,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/SelvadolceRossese_88f25ee5-460d-4c19-a917-4332ee74fe50.jpg?v=1750814782"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/collections\/italy-cinque-terre-riomaggiore-possa-vineyard.jpg?v=1614824766","url":"https:\/\/biondivino.com\/collections\/lo-fi-liguria\/schioppettino.oembed","provider":"Biondivino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
