The DOC regulations for \u201cCinque Terre and Cinque Terre Sciacchetr\u00e0\u201d stipulate that at least 80% of the blend must consist of <strong>Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino<\/strong> grapes, grown in Riomaggiore, Vernazza, Monterosso, and the Tramonti area of La Spezia. <\/p>\n<p>After the harvest, the grape clusters are left to dry in well-ventilated rooms until the sugar content is highly concentrated; winemaking cannot begin before October 1. The wine cannot be sold before October 1 of the following year, and the <strong>Riserva<\/strong> cannot be sold before the third year. The yield is extremely low: a maximum of 32 liters of wine per 100 kg of grapes. The result is a sweet wine, ranging in color from golden yellow to amber, which is often sold in half-bottles and costs more than a regular wine\u2014for good reason.   <\/p>\n<p>You can get a good view of the vineyards while walking from <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/cinque-terre\/corniglia\/\">Corniglia<\/a> to Manarola via Volastra, one of the most beautiful trails through the vineyards along the coast.<\/p>\n<h2>Cinque Terre DOC: Dry White Wine<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sentiero-Corniglia-Manarola-scaled-1-1024x683.webp\" class=\"wp-image-44684\" alt=\"Trail through the vineyards from Corniglia to Manarola\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sentiero-Corniglia-Manarola-scaled-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sentiero-Corniglia-Manarola-scaled-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sentiero-Corniglia-Manarola-scaled-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/sentiero-Corniglia-Manarola-scaled-1.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n<p>The same grapes are also used to make <strong>Cinque Terre white<\/strong>\u2014a dry, savory wine\u2014the table wine of the villages.

It is a red wine made from at least 95% Rossese grapes, grown in the Nervia Valley and neighboring valleys: Dolceacqua, Apricale, Perinaldo, Pigna, Soldano, Camporosso, and other municipalities as far as Ventimiglia. The \u201csuperiore\u201d version cannot be released before November 1 of the year following the harvest. It is said that even Napoleon enjoyed it.   <\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/riviera-di-ponente\/dolceacqua\/\">Dolceacqua<\/a>, there is a regional wine shop in the historic village, and from <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/riviera-di-ponente\/dolceacqua\/castello\/\">the Doria Castle<\/a> you can see the Rossese vineyards nestled among the olive trees.

It includes five wines: Vermentino and Pigato (at least 95% of the blend), Rossese, Granaccia, and Moscato. There are also five subzones: Riviera dei Fiori, Albenganese, Finalese, Quiliano, and Taggia.  <\/p>\n<p>Vermentino and Pigato are the two white wines you should try: Vermentino is generally fresher and more straightforward, while Pigato is fuller-bodied and typical of the <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/riviera-di-ponente\/albenga\/\">Albenga<\/a> plain, where you\u2019ll also find <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/riviera-di-ponente\/albenga\/prodotti-tipici\/\">local produce from<\/a> the garden.

The <strong>Pornassio or Ormeasco di Pornassio<\/strong> DOC has existed since 2003 and covers municipalities such as Pieve di Teco, Pornassio, Mendatica, and Molini di Triora. In addition to the red wine, there is <strong>Sciac-tr\u00e0<\/strong>, a coral-colored ros\u00e9 that is dry and fresh\u2014not to be confused with the Sciacchetr\u00e0 from the Cinque Terre.  <\/p>\n<h2>Eastern Coast: Luni Hills and the Gulf of Tigullio\u2013Portofino<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/volastra-1024x683.webp\" class=\"wp-image-44510\" alt=\"Volastra, among the terraces above Manarola\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/volastra-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/volastra-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/volastra-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/volastra.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/figure>\n<p>In the far east, between Sarzana, Lerici, and Castelnuovo Magra, the <strong>Colli di Luni<\/strong> DOC (1989) extends into Tuscany, in the province of Massa.
