Langhe

The terroir and diversity of the Langhe

Hills, marl soils and the Piedmont climate

Located south of Turin, the Langhe stretch across a succession of hills sculpted by marl, clay and limestone soils. This geological mosaic provides ideal conditions for local grape varieties to flourish. The Piedmontese climate, characterised by hot summers, cool nights and long autumns, allows the grapes to ripen gradually and precisely. The altitude and varied exposures add further complexity to the wines produced in the region.

Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and wine styles

Nebbiolo stands out for its tannic finesse, tension and aromas of rose, cherry and spices. Barbera offers a more generous expression, with lively acidity and notes of red fruit. The more supple Dolcetto seduces with its immediate fruitiness and roundness. This diversity of grape varieties allows for a wide range of styles, from structured and deep wines to delicious and accessible cuvées.

Choosing a Langhe wine

Aromatic profiles & structure

A typical Langhe wine has a precise aroma, marked by red fruits, flowers and spices depending on the grape variety. Textures range from the slender freshness of Nebbiolo to the fruity roundness of Dolcetto and the liveliness of Barbera. In all cases, the structure remains harmonious and balanced, reflecting the quality of the terroirs.

Vintages, ageing and food pairings

Cool vintages enhance tension and finesse, while warmer years offer greater maturity and volume. Ageing potential depends on the grape variety: Nebbiolo can evolve over a decade or more, while Barbera and Dolcetto are often enjoyed younger. At the table, Langhe wines pair well with pasta, risottos, white meats, cold cuts and herb-based dishes. The diversity of expressions allows you to discover a rich panorama of Piedmont's wine region.
