ORIGINS

Winery: Il Monticello

Region: Liguria

Liguria is a coastal region in the northwest of Italy, situated between the Ligurian Sea and the Apennine Mountains. It is renowned for its stunning landscapes, picturesque villages, and of course, its delicious wines. The history of winemaking in Liguria dates back to the ancient Greeks, who planted vines in the region as early as the 6th century BC. The Romans also cultivated vines in the area, and it is believed that the famous poet Virgil wrote about the wines of Liguria in his epic poem, the Aeneid. Today, Liguria is home to a number of small, family-run wineries that produce a variety of wines. The region is known for its white wines, which are made from the Vermentino and Pigato grapes, as well as its red wines, which are made from the Dolcetto and Rossese grapes.
