Dolceacqua

Overview

It is a sweet and fragrant land in which the medieval village of Dolceacqua stands, a land that has made this small town famous for its products. The narrow caruggi weave their way up to lead the visitor to the ruins of the Doria Castle, which, perched atop the hill, dominates the landscape. In the centre of the village, the old houses, the stone arches and the alleys where the light hardly arrives create a very special atmosphere, which bewitched even Claude Monet, who dedicated no less than four canvases to Dolceacqua. But this village is also famous for its high quality products, the Riviera Ligure Dop olive oil and above all the Rossese Dolceacqua Doc wine, an excellent red wine with a soft, aromatic and sweet flavour: to discover the secrets of this dark red nectar, visit the Enoteca Regionale della Liguria, located in this very village, at the foot of the Castle.
