Liguria
Liguria's vineyard area has been declining for years. At present, just 2000 hectares of vineyards are still being cultivated. By Italian standards, that is practically nothing. However, this has little to do with poor quality. Instead, it has a lot to do with the production conditions, which are difficult and extremely costly throughout the region. The slopes on which the vines are grown, often on microscopic terraces, can usually only be reached on foot, and on particularly steep cliffs, rope hoists and ladders are used. These are not ideal conditions and none that can be modernised in any way. Viticulture in Liguria is cultural labour in the truest sense of the word, an ongoing conflict between man and nature, in which nature often retains the upper hand.
