Liguria, nestled between sea and mountains in northwestern Italy, is a fascinating and enchanting wine region. Benefiting from a mild Mediterranean climate, it offers ideal conditions for viticulture, influenced by sea breezes and steep terraces overlooking the sea. Ligurian wines, some classified as Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT), are often synonymous with diversity and character. Among the emblematic grape varieties, Vermentino stands out for its floral aromas and invigorating freshness, capturing the maritime essence of the region. Pigato, an indigenous variety, adds a mineral and complex dimension that appeals to white wine enthusiasts. On the red side, Rossese di Dolceacqua is appreciated for its lightness and spicy notes. Ligurian winemakers, dedicated to environmentally respectful viticulture, cultivate on plots often challenging to work due to steep slopes, producing wines that deeply reflect the unique terroir of this picturesque region. Discovering Ligurian wines is to dive into a rich wine heritage and taste the authenticity of local flavors while exploring the diversity of a region experiencing a viticultural renaissance.
