Nebbiolo vineyards at Barbaresco in the Langhe.

 

World Heritage Landscape

Southern Piedmont is a land dedicated to wine production.

Widespread implementation and working of vineyards, grape-processing in traditional and distinctive cascine (farmhouses) and wine cellars cut into bedrock; all of these have created an enduring landscape across the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero hills.

Here you see the physical expression of centuries of experience in grape-tending.

Historical references to wine go back as far as local written records permit, and these vineyards and their products have been celebrated both in the arts and in literature.
