Abstract
The Liguria region (NW Italy) is characterized bya wide geodiversity, which is strictly correlated with a hugevariety of landscapes. This article reports and discusses theresults of a multidisciplinary research performed to investigatethe relationships among the “geological fingerprint” of soils andthe quality of wines, going beyond the classical italian qualitylabels, such as the DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin), theDOP (Protected Designation of Origin) and the IGP (ProtectedGeographical Indication) labels. We applied an innovativemultidisciplinary approach (geological, geomorphological,geochemical, mineralogical, ecological and vegetational) aimedto demonstrate the close relationships between the “geologicalfingerprint” of an area and the organoleptic properties ofagricultural products.
