White wine above the Ligurian sea
Small terraced vineyards shape Cinque Terre’s coastal wine landscape.
The view begins with terraces: small vineyards on steep coastal hills, close to the sea. Cinque Terre’s white wines draw their main grape base from Bosco, Albarola and Vermentino, used alone or together. The territory has shallow, stony soils over marine sediments. These are wines to explore by place, with the vineyard slopes as much a part of the introduction as the grape names.
