About Sagra della Capra e Fagioli

In summer, Rocchetta Nervina celebrates its specialty with the Sagra della Capra e Fagioli (Goat and Bean Festival). The stewed goat with Pigna beans, a Slow Food presidium, is the star of a gastronomic evening in the medieval alleyways of the village, accompanied by Rossese di Dolceacqua wine, Taggiasca oil, and live music, in the heart of Val Nervia.

A dish from mountain tradition

In Rocchetta Nervina, a village in the hinterland of the Imperia province, the Sagra della Capra e Fagioli celebrates one of the most characteristic specialties of the Val Nervia. The slow-cooked stewed goat is served with Pigna beans, a Slow Food presidium cultivated in the nearby valleys, in a dish that tells the story of the simple yet flavorful cuisine of these lands.

Local flavors and products

In addition to the main dish, the festival showcases local excellences: the DOC Rossese di Dolceacqua wine, extra virgin Taggiasca olive oil, and toasted bread crostini. The gastronomic evening is enlivened by live music, creating a convivial atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors from all over the valley.

Among the village's alleyways

The festival takes place in the heart of Rocchetta Nervina, a village with characteristic medieval alleyways and stone bridges, considered one of the most beautiful in the Ligurian western hinterland. The sagra is the ideal opportunity to discover this authentic corner of Val Nervia, far from coastal tourism.
