Gavi - Piemonte Feel

Cities

Gavi (AL)

The imposing fort, which dominates the town, was built by the Genovese starting in 1626 under the direction of Fra Vincenzo da Fiorenzuolo, transforming the pre-existing castle into the present day powerful fortress, which was proclaimed a national monument in 1908. The area of Gavi is famous, above all, for its white Cortese wine, which received DOCG (Denomination of Controlled Origin Guaranteed) certification in 1998. The wine-producing tradition also offers an interesting output of Dolcetto and Barbera, wines that accompany local dishes that have a Ligurian influence, given the town’s strategic position in the hills of the Ligurian-Piedmontese Apennines. Gavi’s oldest and most important monument is the Parish Church dedicated to San Giacomo, a Romanesque church which has many precious works of art inside.
