Overview
An enormous fortress dominates Gavi from above: it is the fort built by the Genoese starting in 1626, who transformed the pre-existing castle, making it the majestic architectural work we see today and which, since 1908, has been declared a national monument. Another important monument worth visiting is the ancient Church of San Giacomo, which houses valuable works of art inside. What makes the village famous, however, is above all its production of the white wine Cortese, which was awarded the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita in 1998. Dolcetto and Barbera are also produced here, wines that, thanks to their strong taste, perfectly accompany the local traditional dishes, flavours that, due to their geographical proximity, allow Ligurian influences and scents to emerge, all to be tried!
