Langhe

Langhe is the hilly sub-region east of the Tanaro river and south of Alba, in the Cuneo province of Piedmont. The Langhe area is home to some of the most prestigious wines in Italy, including Barolo and Barbaresco, Asti and Dogliani. A Langhe DOC wine may be rosso, bianco or rosato (red, white or rosé), a blend or a varietal. It can be still, frizzante (semi-sparkling), novello (an early-release, youthful style for reds) or passito (made from dried grapes).
