Sassello — Boschi di Castagni & Amaretti

Liguria

Sassello sits well inland from the busier coast, its surrounding chestnut woodland long supplying the flour used in the town's well-known amaretti biscuits, still baked by small local producers. Shaded paths wind through the chestnut groves, cooler and quieter than the coastal Riviera towns.
