THE WINE TOUR: MEET A WINEGROWER IN THE VINEYARD AND THE CELLAR
THE WINE TOUR: MEET A WINEGROWER IN THE VINEYARD AND THE CELLAR
Andrea, a young winemaker from Riomaggiore, follows the wine-growing traditions handed down over generations. Skillful and with sensitivity he combines modern methods with ancient equipment as theterra-cotta amphorae.
The tasting consists of two different wines, a local white wine made in amphora and a traditional sweet wine produced by withered grapes, offering you a complete new gustatory experience - very natural wines, produced respecting the vineyard and the earth, without the use of chemical products, sulfites and yeasts. The results are intense wines which, through their scents and flavors, will transmit you the special characteristics of the place where they have grown - rocks, sea, herbs… These are authentic wines that symbolize both past and future – because this is the way the ancestors produced the wine in the past, but wines rich in history and character will impress the future too.
You will meet Andrea in the centre of Riomaggiore and together you’ll catch the bus that leads you to Montenero, above the village, where he will show you his vineyard. This is a special panoramic placefrom where you can admire all the Cinque Terre villages. After the visit you will come back to Riomaggiore by foot and taste the wines in Andrea’s little wine cellar, situated close to the castle. During the explanation of his winemaking methods you will taste the 2 types of wine accompanied by typical Ligurian focaccia bread.
