- Liguria is famous for its terraced vineyards, which are built into the steep slopes of the region’s coastal hills and mountains. These terraces, supported by dry-stone walls, are a testament to the labor-intensive viticulture practiced here. They help prevent soil erosion and maximize the use of limited arable land.
- The Cinque Terre area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famous for its wine production. The vineyards in this region are perched on cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, producing wines that are often light, fresh, and mineral-driven. The local white wine, Cinque Terre DOC, is made primarily from Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino grapes.
- A specialty of the Cinque Terre region, Sciacchetrà is a rare and prized passito wine made from dried grapes. It is sweet, rich, and complex, with flavors of dried fruit, honey, and spices. This dessert wine is produced in very limited quantities and is highly sought after.

Liguria is a narrow coastal region stretching along the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by the Ligurian Alps and the Apennines. Its unique shape and coastal location significantly influence its climate and viticulture.
The region is characterized by steep, rugged terrain. Vineyards are often located on terraces carved into the hillsides, supported by dry-stone walls. This terraced landscape is essential for preventing soil erosion and maximizing the use of limited arable land.
