Colline di Levanto
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Established in 2004, the Colline di Levanto DOC covers a specific coastal strip of Liguria restricted to four municipalities, including Bonassola and Levanto itself. What distinguishes this denomination from neighboring Ligurian appellations is the mandatory composition of its classic white blend, which requires a minimum of 40% Vermentino, balanced by at least 20% Albarola and a mandatory 5% minimum of Bosco. Grown with yields restricted to 9.0 tonnes per hectare, these coastal grapes produce a dry, sapid wine with a minimum alcohol content of 11.0% by volume, ensuring a strict, localized profile without any required aging period.
