What is Cinque Terre DOC white wine?
Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage coastline in Liguria, famous for colourful villages, cliffside vineyards and breathtaking sea views. Wine here is grown on steep stone terraces, often harvested by hand due to the extreme terrain.
A Cinque Terre DOC white wine must follow strict rules, including grape varieties, yields and production methods. This guarantees authenticity and quality, making it one of Italy’s most distinctive coastal wines.
The vineyards benefit from:
• salty sea air
• mineral-rich soils
• intense sunlight
• cool evening breezes
As a result, wines from this area are crisp, mineral and beautifully refreshing.
