Coastal region of northwest Italy on the Riviera, terraced vineyards among the steepest in Europe (~1,650 ha).

The word of the wine: Blanc de blancs (champagne)
Champagne made only from the Chardonnay grape. The expression has been somewhat overused by the intensive use made of it by certain large distributors of white table wines (or sparkling wines) who were thus seeking to promote their product.
