What grows here
Cesio
8 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched within Liguria's Imperia province, Cesio boasts a distinct terroir profoundly shaped by its rugged topography and the Ligurian Sea's influence. This unique environment cultivates a remarkable agricultural heritage, reflected in its 8 protected denominations. Paramount is the Pornassio DOC, a refined wine exclusively born from just 13 municipalities in this precise microclimate. The sun-drenched, terraced slopes also yield the prized olives for Riviera Ligure DOP oil and the celebrated Olive taggiasche liguri IGP. Cesio's geographical singularity, from its steep valleys to the maritime breezes, defines the essence and unparalleled regional character of these products, illustrating precisely what is born here and why.
