Moconesi

In the scattered municipality of Moconesi, within Liguria's Metropolitan City of Genoa, a unique gastronomic profile emerges from its specific terroir. This varied terrain, marked by numerous hamlets rather than a single urban center, provides ideal conditions for six protected denominations. Notably, this area is pivotal for Portofino DOC wines, grown in a zone of just 36 municipalities, and contributes to the broader Colline del Genovesato IGT wine appellation. Furthermore, Moconesi is a birthplace for the renowned Riviera Ligure DOP olive oil and the distinct Olive taggiasche liguri IGP, deeply rooted in its particular Ligurian microclimates.
