Liguria: the enchantment of wine between sea and mountains
Liguria, a narrow strip of land set between the mountains and the sea, is a fascinating Italian region full of contrasts, beautifully reflected in its wines. These wines, born of a challenging yet captivating landscape, are the result of heroic viticulture carried out on steep terraces overlooking the sea. The history of Ligurian wine is ancient and deeply intertwined with the region’s seafaring traditions: even the Romans admired these lands for their refined nectars.
The grapes of Liguria are predominantly native, with renowned varieties such as Pigato, Vermentino, Rossese, and Granaccia. Pigato, aromatic and mineral, best expresses the essence of the territory, while Vermentino delivers freshness with delicate floral and fruity notes. Among the reds, Rossese di Dolceacqua stands out for its elegance and spiciness, with a light structure that pairs perfectly with the local seafood cuisine.
Wine production in Liguria is a mosaic of small wineries, each with its own story and character. Production methods often follow tradition, with careful attention to sustainability and respect for the environment. Ligurian white wines are celebrated for their sapidity and freshness, while the reds captivate with their finesse and aromatic complexity.
The sensory profile of Ligurian wines is an invitation to travel: the whites, with their light body and lively acidity, recall sea breezes and the scents of Mediterranean herbs. The reds, with notes of red fruits, spices, and a gentle tannic touch, tell the story of a land kissed by the sun and caressed by the wind.
