Enoteca Regionale of Liguria
Castelnuovo Magra
The registered office of the Enoteca Regionale della Liguria is located at Castelnuovo Magra, a small village on the hills of the province of La Spezia , in the sixteenth century cellars of Palazzo Amati Cornelio Ingolotti. Inside the magnificent rooms with their volted ceiling, are the “tine” – 18 th century tubs made from Carrara marble blocks, which were used to store olive oil – and the permanent exhibition of the Ligurian wines. A series of recent seismic events has made necessary the technical inspection of many buildings, which has revealed the presence of cracks and crevices at Palazzo Amati Cornelio as well. This has required the temporary transfer of the Enoteca Regionale della Liguria showroom to the nearby Museo
del Vermentino. Administrative and clerical offices remain available at the premises in via v. Veneto, 2 (public service only by appointment).
