Liguria

Wine from Liguria comes out of Italy, where it sits as a wine region.

Growers build the wines around Vermentino, filling out the blend with Rossese, Ormeasco and Pigato.

The ground underneath is limestone.

The climate is mediterranean.

The vineyards themselves read as coastal, hills and steep sites.

White wine, red wine and rosé wine, plus one more is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows crisp, aromatic, mineral notes and light to medium-bodied, plus two more.

Labels here fall under the Rossese di Dolceacqua.

Inside it sit Cinque Terre, Colli di Luni, Golfo del Tigullio-Portofino and Colline di Levanto.

At the table these bottles work with seafood dishes, pasta with pesto, grilled vegetables and light salads.

Serve chilled.
