The vineyard area in Liguria covers approximately 1,500 hectares, with 65% planted with white grape varieties, among which Vermentino stands out, while among the black grape varieties, Rossese is prominent. International varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet, only account for a few hectares, especially in Lunigiana area. Ligurian vineyards are located 65% in the mountains and 35% on hills, often situated on steep slopes, which require that all vineyard operations be conducted manually, sometimes on extreme inclines, leading to references to “heroic” viticulture. The Ligurian hinterland is largely mountainous, hence wine production in Liguria is concentrated along the entire coastal strip and, where possible, in the inner areas of the region. The most widespread varieties are white grapes, particularly in the central and eastern area, while the production of black grape species is concentrated in the western part of the region. The most important white grape variety in Liguria is Vermentino, while the most significant black grape variety is Rossese, a variety reminiscent of Nebbiolo due to its low content of coloring substances. Other white grapes cultivated in Liguria include Pigato, Bosco, and Albarola, while the black grapes include Ormeasco (Dolcetto) and Barbera. Ciliegiolo, on the other hand, is widespread in the central and eastern areas of Liguria.
