Piana Crixia

Piana Crixia, a dispersed municipality in Liguria's Savona province, embodies a unique agricultural tapestry, yielding 5 distinct protected denominations. Here, the varied topography, shaped by its scattered settlements and a population of 744, cultivates the conditions ideal for specialized produce. The hillsides are particularly suited to viticulture, giving rise to the acclaimed Colline Savonesi IGT wines. This specific terroir, transitioning between Ligurian coastal influences and internal Apennine features, also supports the delicate Olive taggiasche liguri IGP. The local landscape fosters an identity where robust flavors are intrinsically linked to the distinct, micro-climatic pockets across its territory.
