One of Italy's most dramatically terraced and challenging wine regions, clinging to the Ligurian Riviera cliffs between Genova and La Spezia. The impossibly steep stone-walled terraces overlook the Mediterranean and are worked by hand — no machinery can reach most vineyards. Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino produce the region's distinctive dry whites, while the passito Sciacchetra (made from sun-dried grapes) is one of Italy's rarest and most prized sweet wines.
