Liguria, nestled between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennine Mountains, is a true gem in the northwest of Italy. This narrow and hilly region, although small in size, is immense in its diversity of wines. With only 1,500 hectares of vineyards, Liguria boasts a rich winemaking tradition that dates back to Roman times. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters, offers an ideal terroir for some unique indigenous varieties.
The region is especially renowned for its fresh and aromatic white wines, mainly from the Pigato and Vermentino grapes, which reign supreme here. These wines are distinguished by their white flower aromas and citrus notes, perfect for pairing with the seafood dishes typical of Ligurian cuisine. The steep hills of Cinque Terre also produce Schiacchetrà, a sweet wine prized for its complex nuances.
As a DOC designation, Liguria reflects a dedicated craftsmanship and a commitment to tradition. For cellar management enthusiasts, exploring Ligurian wines is an invitation to discover a palette of authentic Mediterranean flavors, ideal for enriching their collection.
