le Langhe

The Langhe is a hilly area to the south and east of the river Tanaro in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, northern Italy.
It is famous for its wines, cheeses, and truffles.
In 2014, Langhe were inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage list for its cultural landscapes, outstanding living testimony to winegrowing and winemaking traditions that stem from a long history, and that have been continuously improved and adapted up to the present day.
Its vineyards constitute an outstanding example of man’s interaction with his natural environment.
The winegrowing landscape also expresses great aesthetic qualities, making it into an archetype of European vineyards.
