Langhe

Langhe is broad regional wine designation covering the hilly subregion east of the Tanaro river and south of Alba, in the Cuneo province of Piedmont (Piemonte). Its area encompasses some of the great appellations of Piedmont and numerous top producers of Barolo and Barbaresco also make wines under the Langhe label. 

The Langhe area has a long history of vinegrowing and many of the wines made here use traditional, well established grape varieties such as Arneis and Favorita (Vermentino) for whites, and Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Freisa for reds.
