About the winery
Rosadimaggio is one of the two wineries of the Arrigoni family, who have been involved in wine making for four generations. Rosadimaggio includes two main estates: in La Spezia and in Cinque Terre.
In the La Spezia Estate Rosadimaggio produces classical Ligurian wines: Vermentino, Rossese, Ciliegiolo and Pigato. The vineyard is made in the amphitheatre style, what allows to catch the early sun in the morning and cool and breezy to keep the warmth of the sun until the sunset.
The other estate of the winery, in picturesque Cinque Terre, is considered a triumph of effort, but is also the expression of pure beauty of the nature. There Rosadimaggio makes three Cinque Terre DOC wines from indigenous grapes Bosco, Albarola and Vermentino: “Tramonti”, “Sciacchetrà” and “Sciacchetrà Riserva”.
