Piedmont

Nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, Piedmont is arguably Italy’s most celebrated wine region, famed for its Nebbiolo based wines of the Langhe hills, including Barolo and Barbaresco.

Langhe DOC

Langhe DOC spans the rolling hills of Piedmont and allows winemakers to make wines made from varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto. Offering earlier-drinking expressions and greater stylistic freedom than Barolo or Barbaresco, Langhe wines highlight the purity and freshness of the region’s fruit and terroir.
