Langhe (Piedmont)
Langhe is a picturesque hilly region in Piedmont, northern Italy, that is carpeted with vineyards. It is famous for its wines, cheeses, and truffles. Part of the Langhe is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list for its wine-growing and winemaking traditions that go back centuries. You can take a guided tour of the vineyards or explore the area on foot by following well-marked trails. A number of medieval hill towns and villages dot the region, many with their own castle. The most well known is Barolo village, which gives the wine its name.
