Riviera ligure di Ponente
Wine · PDO · 114 municipalities
Recognized since 1996 across 114 Ligurian municipalities including Alassio and Albenga, the Riviera ligure di Ponente DOC is a multi-varietal umbrella covering five distinct base wines. The appellation strictly forbids aging qualifiers like 'Riserva,' 'extra,' or 'scelto' for these wines, keeping the focus on pure varietal expression. Growers cultivating Rossese di Dolceacqua vineyards are granted the unique option to alternatively claim this DOC's Rossese designation. While Pigato, Moscato, and Granaccia have specialized parameters, the representative Vermentino requires a maximum yield of 11.0 t/ha, resulting in a dry, fresh, and harmonic style.
