What grows here
Calizzano
6 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Situated in the Ligurian hinterland, within the Savona province, Calizzano's particular geography fosters a rich tapestry of protected food and wine. This municipality contributes to 6 distinct denominations, each shaped by its unique environment. Crucially, Calizzano lies within the defined zone for Colline Savonesi IGT wines, an appellation encompassing only 69 municipalities, highlighting the localized conditions perfect for its specific grape varieties. The landscape, characterized by its distance from the immediate coast, also lends its distinct character to the celebrated Riviera Ligure DOP olive oil and the regionally significant Olive taggiasche liguri IGP. Here, the interplay of altitude, soil, and climate cultivates products intrinsically tied to this precise corner of Liguria.
