Bosco


A very light white variety found in Liguria.  It is permitted a minimum of 40% in the blending of Cinque Terre DOC wines.  When harvesting this grape needs utmost care because it has a tendency to oxidize quickly.


You can also find this grape in Sciacchetra from the Cinque Terre.  This is a sweet wine made from 60% Bosco and 40% Vermintino and Alborola.
