Pigato is an Italian white grape that produces fairly robust, fruity white wines with a rich aroma. It grows only in the small Italian wine region of Liguria, on the Italian Riviera, near Genoa.
Its name is from Ligurian and refers to the speckled appearance of the ripe fruitlets.
It is not entirely clear how the Pigato ever appeared in Liguria. It could originate from central Italy, but there are also voices claiming that the ancient Greeks brought it over at some point. DNA research has shown that the Pigato is actually the same as the Vermentino.
