Ligurië - Primitivo

We can't find products matching the selection.

Liguria is a coastal region in northwestern Italy, the third smallest of the Italian regions. It borders France to the west, Piedmont to the north and Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany to the east. In Liguria, time seems to have stood still. Small winegrowers make wine just like their great-grandfathers did. They are not very well known and exports are small. But with more than 100 indigenous grape varieties and beautiful traditions, Liguria has a lot to offer adventurous wine drinkers. Liguria is certainly more famous for its olive oil, because although Liguria is quite north, it is warmer than, for example, the more southern Tuscany. Liguria is sandwiched between the Appennines, the Ligurian Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. This ensures a mild climate. This mild climate, but also the sea air, has for centuries provided an environment in which the olive trees thrive and, in relation to the warm interior, provide an oil with mild fruity flavours.

The Taggiasca olive is the type of olive that is mainly grown in Liguria. These relatively small olives are real Ligurian olives. They are harvested seasonally between November and March and they grow on terraces and on the slopes of the Ligurian hills. In a good year you can harvest about 10 kilos of olives per person, per hour. For 1 liter of olive oil you need about 7-10 kilos of olives. There is a good reason why good olive oil is so expensive. It's a patient job.

Ligurië - Primitivo

At Grandcruwijnen, we think it is important that people can find their preferred flavor. That is why we came up with the idea of the sample box. This does not just consist of a number of wines, but of themed wines specially selected by our vinologists. With the sample boxes you can try different wines and find your own taste.

All of our sample boxes have a number of things in common, mainly that they are all (international) class wines and that they are extra competitively priced. A document with all wine descriptions and a table for making tasting notes is added to each test box. What could be more fun than selecting your favorite wine in this way together with friends and / or family.
