Squeezed between the Alps, the Apennines and the Ligurian Sea, Liguria is one of Italy's smallest and most dramatically beautiful wine regions. Steep coastal terraces, often inaccessible by machine and farmed entirely by hand, produce wines of remarkable character and rarity. Vermentino and Pigato dominate among whites, offering crisp, saline and aromatic expressions shaped by sea breezes and Mediterranean sunshine. Native red varieties such as Rossese and Ormeasco add further depth to a region that remains largely undiscovered — one of Italy's best kept winemaking secrets.
