Discover the rich tradition and unique characteristics of Ligurian wines in an exclusive tasting led by a local wine expert. This immersive experience takes you through the world of Ligurian winemaking, showcasing four handpicked wines that highlight the region's distinct viticulture. You’ll explore both white wines like Pigato, with its minerality and freshness, and Vermentino, a bright, citrusy wine, along with reds like Rossese, a medium bodied wine with fruity notes, and rare reds from Cinque Terre's dramatic cliffside vineyards. Each wine reflects Liguria's terroir and the expertise of its winemakers.

Throughout the tasting, your expert guide will provide insights into Liguria's vigneto eroico heroic vineyards cultivated on steep, terraced landscapes, a defining feature of the region's winemaking. You’ll learn how the region’s challenging terrain has shaped the wine production techniques passed down over centuries. The session will also delve into winemaking processes , including grape selection, fermentation methods, and how these contribute to the unique flavors in each glass.

The tasting will also cover food pairings (abbinamenti), with the expert offering suggestions on how to pair Ligurian wines with local dishes and other cuisines. You’ll learn how to match a crisp Vermentino with seafood or a smooth Rossese with pasta. Additionally, you’ll receive professional tips on how to evaluate wine like a sommelier, from assessing color and clarity to detecting aroma and flavor profiles. This educational and enjoyable experience offers both wine enthusiasts and beginners the chance to appreciate the complexities of Ligurian wines and deepen their understanding of Italy’s diverse wine culture.
