What grows here
Riomaggiore
6 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Riomaggiore, the southernmost and easternmost settlement within the historic Cinque Terre, shapes a terroir uniquely suited for its celebrated viticulture. This distinctive position along the Ligurian Riviera carves out steep, terraced vineyards that give birth to the renowned Cinque Terre DOC wine, a designation shared by a mere 4 municipalities. The extreme coastal proximity and sun exposure imbue the grapes with characteristics impossible elsewhere. In total, 6 protected denominations overlap this ancient village, each product bearing the indelible mark of Riomaggiore's singular geography, from its signature wines to the broader Liguria di Levante IGT expressions.
