This is \"heroic viticulture\" at its most extreme; vineyards are perched on incredibly steep, hand-built stone terraces that are often inaccessible by machinery. The vines are constantly bathed in salt spray and intense sunshine, producing wines that capture the very essence of the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe star of the coast is \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"25\"\u003eVermentino\u003c\/b\u003e. In Liguria, this grape produces whites with a distinct saline minerality, bright citrus notes, and a wild herbal aroma reminiscent of the coastal scrub.

This red grape produces elegant, light-bodied wines with a peppery spice and red currant fruit that drink beautifully with a slight chill.

This Vermentino also includes a small percentage of Malvasia which makes the sip a real walk among the flower gardens that surround the vineyard, with clear references to jasmine, wild herbs and all those scents that echo on the Castelnuovo hills in the spring.
