What grows here
Airole
6 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Airole, a compact municipality in Liguria's Imperia province, thrives where rugged hillsides meet Mediterranean influences, forging a unique viticultural identity. This distinct terroir gives rise to specialties like the Terrazze dell'Imperiese IGT, a wine appellation encompassing just 66 municipalities, reflecting its highly localised character. Here, the demanding Ligurian landscape, sculpted into historic terraces, ensures ideal conditions for specific grape varietals. Beyond the IGT, Airole's microclimate also nurtures olives for Riviera Ligure DOP oil and contributes to the revered Olive taggiasche liguri IGP, cementing its role as a vital contributor to the region's culinary tapestry.
