What the Critics Say...
About the name...
The Liverna valley is on the outskirts of Aubais, and it is where the vineyards are located. Ninety three million years ago it was the sea bed. Today it is a fertile valley bordered by rocky outcrops of wooded hills and terraces. In my village it is spelt with an 'a' at the end. Our neighbours add a 't'. Take your choice.
