DOLCEACQUA & THE NERVIA VALLEY - The home of Rossese wine and Monet's beloved bridge
Overview
The Val Nervia is an absolute must-see place of the Riviera dei Fiori. It is one of the loveliest parts of Liguria’s hinterland.
This is the domain of one of the finest Italian wines, and one of Italy’s best kept secrets, which is gaining popularity and is in great demand worldwide. Rossese di Dolceacqua or Dolceacqua, a favourite of Napoleon’s.
Dolceacqua is the ancient village dominated by the imposing ruin of the Castello dei Doria which towers over the old town on the left bank of the river. Its name means “sweet water”. A single-arched 15th-century bridge spans 33m across the river and leads to the old town.
The Impressionist painter Claude Monet immortalized on canvas. “The place is superb, there is a bridge that is a jewel of lightness”, he wrote in his diary.
Meeting point: in front of the main entrance of the Sanremo Casino.
