Cascina Gazzeri sorge in collina a ridosso del Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo, nel comune di Tagliolo Monferrato.
Questa zona di Basso Piemonte, dove l'Appennino funge da cerniera tra Piemonte e Liguria, è caratterizzata dall'incontro dei territori dell'Alto Monferrato e dell'Oltregiogo che, in epoche passate, costituivano l'entroterra genovese, luogo di residenza estiva delle antiche famiglie nobiliari.
The ‘Alto Monferrato’ is the area that, together with ‘Basso Monferrato’ and ‘Monferrato Astigiano’, form the Monferrato Piemontese, an historic-geographical region in the Piedmont lowlands, taking in the provinces of Alessandria and Asti, and reaching up to the borders of Liguria and Lombardy. The historical importance of this strategic territory is shown by the magnificent castles of medieval times, and not only these, but also the surrounding villages and hamlets that tower up on the tops of the hills thus becoming a distinctively integral part of this region,: the legendary " suolo Aleramico" quoted by Giosuè Carducci "(...) and the exultant one of castles and vineyards of the land of Aleramo (...) " in the entitled poetry "Piedmont".
