liguria

Liguria is an Italian wine region characterised by a narrow territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains, where vineyards are often cultivated on steep slopes and terraces that make viticulture particularly challenging.

Liguria's wine production is strongly linked to native and traditional grape varieties. The most representative include Vermentino, widely grown along the coast, Pigato in the Riviera Ligure di Ponente and Rossese, the signature grape of the Rossese di Dolceacqua appellation. In the Cinque Terre, traditional varieties include Bosco, Albarola and Vermentino.

Liguria's white wines are generally known for their freshness, savoury character and delicate aromas, while its reds tend to be fragrant, elegant and highly drinkable. The region also produces distinctive specialities such as Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà, a sweet wine made from dried grapes.

In this category you will find a selection of Ligurian wines from different appellations and producers, ideal for pairing with seafood, Mediterranean cuisine, pesto, vegetables and traditional Ligurian dishes.
