Azienda Agricola Giovanni Poggi dell’Elmo by Giovanni Guglielmi produces Rossese di Dolceacqua and Vermentino, local wines of the Ligurian hinterland.
The winery and vineyards are located in the extreme west of the Riviera Ligure di Ponente fifteen kilometers from the border with France, surrounded by a reality typical of the Ligurian hinterland.
The vineyards are located in the town of Soldano, in the Val Verbone, an area known for the cultivation of the vine.
The exposure of the vineyards is South and South–East; the plant has an average age of forty years, but some vines date back to the thirties.
Other systems are set to younger terraces supported by stone walls where the vertiginous slopes prevent the use of mechanical means.
The company produces five types of wine: Rossese di Dolceacqua D.O.C. Classico, of ruby red color with violet reflections; Rossese di Dolceacqua D.O.C. Superiore, more intense than the classic one, with notes of ripe cherry, spicy and balsamic; Rossese di Dolceacqua D.O.C. Superiore Elmo Primo with a good structure and an important spicy flavor thanks to the passage in barriques, the rosé wine produced by Rossese grapes vinified in white, delicate and with aromas of rose; and Vermentino, straw yellow with greenish hues, fresh and easy to drink.
They organize tours in the vineyard and wine tastings.
