History: The wines of Cinque Terra, the 5 remote towns in the Italian Riviera, are among the most costly, and difficult to make in the world.
The winemaking is done by hand throughout these rugged, steep mountainous communities. Called Sciacchetrà (pronounced shahk-eh-TRA), this rare nectar is made with grapes that are grown closest to the sea. Locals dry these berries out on mats for several months before making the tiny amounts of precious wine for the lucky connoisseurs.
