DOC area (also known as Cinque Terre Sciacchetrà) for white wine in the Italian region of Liguria. It is named after a 12 km-long stretch of coastline on the Italian Riviera, between Punta Mesco and Punta di Montenero on the Gulf of Genoa, which enjoys a favourable climate, and means ‘Five Lands’ or ‘Five Villages’. These are the municipalities of Monterosso al Mare, Riomaggiore (sub-zones Costa de Sera, Costa de Campu and Costa da Posa), Vernazza, and Tramonti Piassa and Tramonti di Campiglia – which are part of the provincial capital La Spezia – in the province of La Spezia. The region is protected as a national park and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

Sigi Hiss

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
