Ligurië
Ligurië
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.
