The seaside region of Liguria is an extraordinary place, the land of quaint, almost Disney-esque, pastel villages and incredible food (pesto, focaccia, fresh fish, olive oil!) It is also one of Italy’s best kept wine secrets, a secret only because they produce so little, thanks to extremely steep and impossible terrain that is often struck by landslides. These are the wines for which Laura Aschero is famous, at least in Italy (her wines are impossible to find here because the Italians drink them all). This varietal Pigato, aka Vermentino, taste like seabreeze in a glass and whisks you away to Portofino. Pop a bottle with plates of fresh seafood.
