The Territory of Langhe and Roero

The territory of Langhe and Roero, famous worldwide for its splendid wine-growing landscapes, is a landscape jewel nestled between Monferrato and Liguria, located in a strategic position at the center of the productive triangle formed by Milan, the main economic and financial center as well as one of the four world capitals of fashion; Turin, which was the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy and is today one of the country's main university, artistic, and tourist centers; and Genoa, a city overlooking the Ligurian Gulf with the largest port in Italy. Alba, nestled in the splendid natural scenery of the Langhe, is its historical and economic capital and is a city rich in culture, history, and traditions.

It rises on the ancient Alba Pompeia, so named by consul Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo, but with certainly pre-Roman origins, rich in archaeological finds and testimonies of its glorious past. Today it is internationally famous not only for its prestigious wines but also for truffle trading, which attracts many tourists especially during the autumn period when the famous Alba Truffle Show takes place.

From Barolo to Barbaresco, from Alba to Bra, a baroque city and birthplace of Slow Food, from the charm of Alta Langa with its wooded nature, hazelnut groves, and cheeses whose variety can truly satisfy every taste, to Bassa Langa with its excellent wine-growing vocation.

The range of tourist offerings is very interesting, for example, to mention a few: visiting Barolo Castle, home to the Wine Museum WIMU, and visiting Grinzane Cavour Castle, home to the Regional Wine Shop, the World Truffle Auction, and a Michelin-starred restaurant; cooking schools for tourists like the one at Roddi Castle; visiting the new Magic Museum in Cherasco, for adults and children. For sports and nature lovers, trekking and cycle tourism are two of the most practiced activities in the Langhe territory.

Cesare Pavese is not the only protagonist of twentieth-century Italian literature born in Langa territory; alongside him we find Beppe Fenoglio, Giovanni Arpino, and Gina Lagorio.

In the Langhe, a very particular dialect of the Piedmontese language is spoken, Langarolo (in Piedmontese langareu), rich in Ligurian influences and archaisms.

Its local gastronomy is also appreciated worldwide: its wines are important as they tell the stories of the families who live there, through authentic passion. Some of the best known are Barbaresco, produced only in the 3 municipalities of Barbaresco, Neive, and Treiso; Barolo, in its various types; Dolcetto d'Alba, one of the most characteristic wines of the province of Cuneo; Nebbiolo; and Alta Langa, the classic method sparkling wine derived from the two grape varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. To the still or sparkling wines are added succulent cheeses, precious white truffles, and many other typical products... The various cultural contaminations and traditions between different provinces offer a magnificently set table in every season, rich in unforgettable flavors and aromas.
