Colli di Luni

The zone known as the Lunigiana is a mountainous area covering the point where Liguria, Tuscany, and Emilia-Romagna meet. The wines here tend to be blends of several grapes, and show some Tuscan influence. The wines of the Lunigiana were renowned in Roman times and were a particular favorite of Pliny.

There are numerous non-D.O.C. wines produced in Liguria, often made with well-known grapes from other regions. These include Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, and Tocai among the whites, and Bracchetto, Merlot, and Sangiovese among the reds. Among the non-D.O.C. wines that are typically Ligurian one finds whites such as Biancolella, Buzzetto, Coronata, and Lumassina, and the red Granaccia.
