What grows here
Alassio
6 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Alassio, situated on the Ligurian coast within Savona province, stands as a distinct origin point for six protected food and wine denominations. Its singular microclimate, influenced by both the sea and the immediate hilly terrain, creates ideal conditions for cultivating specific produce. This is evident in the localized Colline Savonesi IGT wines, and the wider Riviera ligure di Ponente DOC, both rooted in this very soil. Furthermore, this unique environment yields the acclaimed Olive taggiasche liguri IGP, foundational for the exquisite Riviera Ligure DOP olive oil. Alassio thus offers a genuine taste of its coastal Italian character, born from these precise environmental factors.
