Production zoneImperia, Savona, Genova
Art. 3: a very large zone across the provinces of Imperia, Savona and (marginally) Genova — the whole/part of most western-Ligurian wine comuni, with several sottozone. Geometry = the union of the Imperia (IM) + Savona (SV) province polygons as a documented western-Liguria envelope (WGS84, 270.184 ha); the DOC does not cover every hectare of both provinces (over-approximation) and a small Genova portion is omitted.
GrapesVermentino · Pigato · Rossese
- VermentinoA leading white varietal of the western Riviera.
- PigatoThe distinctive western-Ligurian white.
- RosseseA red varietal of the umbrella.
Art. 2: the broad western-Liguria umbrella covers varietal wines built on the region's grapes — Vermentino, Pigato, Rossese, Ormeasco (Dolcetto), plus Granaccia and Moscato — with named sottozone/sottodenominazioni (Riviera dei Fiori, Albenganese/Albenga, Finalese, Quiliano [Granaccia], Taggia [Moscatello]).
