Situated in the south part of Piedmont, between the provinces of Cuneo and Asti, there is a fine wine producing territory called the Langhe (a term from Piedmont that means “hill”). A historical region of Piedmont bordering on Monferrato and the Roero, the Langa around Albese consists of an expanse of hills covered in highly productive vineyards with landscapes of considerable beauty. The temperate climate is characterised by well defined seasons and various microclimates deriving essentially from the depressions and

the mountain range surrounding them, thus offering great potential for the growing of wine grapes. Added to this climatic situation is a soil that is predominantly calcareous and clayey, which enables the production of grapes that are mainly characterised by a complex of particularly fine and intense fragrances and by a level of well present yet noble tannins that confer body, balance and longevity to truly great and unique wines such as Barolo.
