Description
What kind of wine it is
Cinque Terre Bianco di Possa is a still wine that encapsulates the briny essence of Liguria. Made from a blend of Bosco grapes and other native varieties, it stands out for its skin maceration which enhances its complexity. Visually, it displays a golden yellow colour, while on the nose it releases clear aromas of Mediterranean scrub and mineral notes. On the palate, it is savoury and textured, with a persistent sip and a bold character, enriched by a herbaceous and balsamic finish. Its personality makes it ideal for pairing with shellfish, fried fish and vegetarian dishes.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown on the steep terraces of Riomaggiore, in the heart of the picturesque Cinque Terre area. The vineyards, overlooking the sea and trained both in rows and on low pergolas, boast vines aged between ten and one hundred and twenty years. The soils are characterised by an acidic composition and a rocky, schistous matrix, rich in sandstone gravel. This unique geology, together with the south-east exposure, gives the wine an unmistakable saline imprint and vibrant minerality, an authentic expression of the Ligurian terroir.
How it is produced
Harvesting takes place at the beginning of September. In the winery, the destemmed grapes begin a spontaneous fermentation carried out by indigenous yeasts. This is followed by a four-day maceration, with regular pump-overs to optimise aromatic extraction. At the end, the wine is separated from the skins to mature for six months in stainless steel tanks and in oak and acacia barrels. This synergy between different containers shapes the structure, giving definition and remarkable persistence on the palate.
History and Curiosities
The Cinque Terre Bianco 2024 by Possa encapsulates the soul of Riomaggiore, where century-old vines (up to 120 years old) trained on low pergolas sink their roots into sandstone terraces. Blending Bosco grapes with other local varieties, this wine is born from a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a skin maceration that releases intense aromas of Mediterranean scrub. Aged between barrique and steel and produced in only 6,700 bottles, it offers a saline and savoury sip with a balsamic finish, celebrating Ligurian biodiversity with respect for the environment.

I have always made unconventional choices, starting with the use and rediscovery of ancient grape varieties, avoiding the use of more commercial and well-known varieties.
From day one, I have been determined not to use chemicals, out of respect first and foremost for myself and for the entire ecosystem and biodiversity that surrounds us, because the protection of biodiversity is one of the cornerstones of my philosophy. Read more
