WINES
The Liguria represents around the 0,3% of the Italian wines production. The Ligure wine-growing is sometimes extreme, with vineyards that directly lean out on the sea. Where the little and brave wine-growers are forced to steal piece of earth to the mountain, and where the vintage can be made only manually , and with so much work. The wines symbol of the Liguria are the Rossese of Dolceacqua, the Pigato, and the Cinque Terre, delicious the version "passita", note with the name of Sciacchetrà (Sciac-trà).

Rossese di Dolceacqua DOC:The Rossese is produced in Dolceacqua, Soldano, and other neighboring places, in one of the historical areas of the "ligure" wine-growing , the west. The Rossese of Dolceacqua derives for at least 95% from red grapes Rossese, and from berry grapes red not aromatic. For the normal version there is no aging, while for the Superior version there is 1 year of aging.

Pigato The pigato is a white wine that reaches an alcoholic gradation of 11°, very proper with the dishes of fish, roast and fresh cheeses; its origins are uncertain, while its name originates from the stains of its grapes.

Vermentino The vermentino is a white wine, calm, dry, with an alcoholic gradation of 11°; it must be served to a temperature of 10°- 12°; it approaches to appetizers of fishes and vegetables, fried fish, roast in grate or sauce and to fresh cheeses.

Sciacchetrà Sciacchetrà (pronounced shock-eh-trah) is a rare Italian wine. It's history dates to ancient Rome. Boccaccio mentioned it in his writings and Pope Paul III defined it as a "smoky wine of great aroma, with the color of gold..." He also called it a nutritious wine. It is made by allowing the best Cinqueterre grapes (90-95% Bosco, 5-10% Albarola) to wither over a long period of time. The appellation states that after fermentation the wine must be aged in wood for at least one year. In the local dialect, the word "sciacchetrà" means "press it and forget about it for a long while." Golden yellow with amber hues and intense aromas of mountain flowers and honey that carry through to the palate. It is a gentle, balanced wine with an optimal level of sweetness that does not cloy the palate.
