The name "Langhe" refers to a hilly region with a high aptitude for vine-growing situated in the south-western part of Piedmont. Its temperate-cold climate with well-defined seasons and various microclimates, deriving essentially from the valleys between its many and beautiful hills, offers great possibilities for the cultivation of wine grapes considered among the best in the world. The grapes produced are therefore of first rate quality, with particularly fine and intense aromas. The presence of esters in the wines for ageing is among the highest in the world. A balanced level of tannins and the presence of good tannins give structure, balance and longevity to outstanding wines such as Barolo.
