The Langhe (pronounced LAHNG-ay) is one of the most outstanding wine-producing areas in all of Italy. It extends along the banks of the Tanaro River and its tributary, the Belbo River, creating a zone in which all the wine-growing towns of the Province of Cuneo are located.

The land that follows the course of the Tanaro River is often referred to as the Bassa Langa or Lower Langa. (Langa is the singular form of Langhe) This area encompasses the Barolo and Barbaresco zones. The higher ground along the Belbo River is called the Alta Langa or Upper Langa, and the rolling hills surrounding the lovely city of Mondovì are called the Langa Monregalese which means the Langa of Mondovì.

In the hills between Alba and Mondovì some of Italy’s finest wines are produced, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera and Dolcetto. The Langhe has been producing outstanding wine for centuries and today is one of the most important wine-growing areas in the world.

The Langhe's rolling hills create an enchanting landscape that changes colors with the seasons. The countryside is dotted with castles, churches and rustic farm houses while the Alps always dominate the horizon.

The beauty of the Langhe has been the subject matter of many 20th century artists including authors, Cesare Pavese and Beppe Fenoglio, and painters, Francesco Menzio and Enrico Paulucci.
