Val Polcèvera
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognised in 1999, the Val Polcèvera DOC covers seven Ligurian municipalities, including Genova, Mele, and Campomorone. The denomination distinguishes its standard white blend by requiring Vermentino, Bianchetta Genovese, and Albarola to jointly constitute at least 60% of the wine, resulting in a straw-yellow, dry, and sapid profile with a delicate, persistent aroma. For a more concentrated expression, the exclusive Coronata subzone restricts maximum yields to 9 tonnes per hectare, compared to the standard 9.5 tonnes. To ensure origin tracking, bottling rules mandate a vintage year on labels for all wines, excluding only the frizzante and spumante styles.
