This is the classic wine produced from the Cinque Terre blend , therefore white grapes from old vines in which the grapes known as Bosco and Albarola are predominant. It is not for nothing that we are talking about a vineyard of about six thousand meters on the coast of Riomaggiore, a paradisiacal terrace that breathes the sea.

Giorgia produces wines from grapes grown with traditional gestures , in an organic regime, in fact only with grapes of the highest quality can natural wines be produced without defects or inaccuracies, Mediterraneo is the example of a Liguria di Levante in great movement , which through small and very small productions manages to carve out a space for itself on the table of great Italian wines.
