Sciacchetrà
There is a legend about the origin of the  sweet wine Sciacchetrà. The story tells of the incurable hatred  that once divided the inhabitants of Cinque Terre and of the way in which peace was catched up. The story goes that the heads of the rival villages addressed a wise hermit to ask for council. The hermit asked each one of them to take him some grapes, some time after  he convened them and offered them a goblet of ambered wine obtained by the mixture of the musts produced by the grapes given.
It was in this manner that the villages joined  together and the Cinque Terre wines were born.

Sciacchetrà  is a precious, invaluable rare and antique raisins wine (passito). Many  hypotheses on where the name Sciacchetrà originated from: the creativity of the painter Telemaco Signorini? Or did it derive from shekar, a semitic etymology, meaning alcoholic fermented drink.
