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 iconic grape varieties, Vermentino stands out with 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, proponents of environmentally-friendly viticulture, cultivate on plots that are often challenging to work due to the steep slopes, producing wines that deeply reflect the unique terroir of this picturesque region. Exploring Ligurian wines is a journey into a rich viticultural heritage, tasting the authenticity of local flavours while discovering the diversity of a region experiencing a vinicultural renaissance.
