What grows here
Rocchetta Nervina
7 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Rocchetta Nervina, a compact Ligurian village of 265 inhabitants nestled in the Imperia province, is a significant cradle for distinctive Italian origins. The steep, sun-drenched slopes and specific microclimate foster a unique viticulture, making this one of the 14 communes where Rossese di Dolceacqua DOC wine is born. This ruby-hued red, famed for its delicate complexity, thrives in the local argillaceous-calcareous soils. Beyond this regional jewel, the territory contributes to 6 other protected denominations, including the broader Terrazze dell'Imperiese IGT wines and the highly prized Olive taggiasche liguri IGP. The village's distinctive natural conditions are the foundation for these remarkable expressions of Ligurian terroir.
