Colline del Genovesato
Wine · PGI · 42 municipalities
Recognized in 2006, the Colline del Genovesato PGI encompasses 42 municipalities within Liguria, including coastal Arenzano and Avegno. Although the regulations permit native grapes like Bianchetta Genovese and Cimixià with a maximum yield of 16.0 tonnes per hectare, the denomination currently has zero verified producers. What uniquely distinguishes this appellation from neighboring Ligurian territories is its strict labeling restriction: producers are forbidden from including any geographic or toponymic references to specific municipalities or localities on the label. This rule ensures the collective Genoese identity remains unified, preventing the division of the territory into smaller, localized sub-zones.
