Colline Savonesi
Wine · PGI · 69 municipalities
Recognized since 1999 across 69 Ligurian municipalities, including Alassio and Albenga, the Colline Savonesi IGT stands apart from neighboring denominations by focusing entirely on fresh, unaged wines officially designated as not meant for aging. Yielding up to 16.0 tonnes per hectare, the vines produce wines with a minimum alcohol content of 9.0% vol. While many regional appellations permit a broad spectrum of grapes, this coastal territory restricts its specific varietal labeling to just two local standouts: the red Alicante, locally known as Granaccia, and the white Lumassina, also called Buzzetto or Mata"ossu, which delivers a characteristically fresh, herbaceous profile.
