A Wine Atlas of the Langhe

The great Barolo and Barbaresco Vineyards

Breathtaking landscapes filled with castles and churches, pittoresque hilltop villages and, best of all, vineyards. This is the Langhe, an aera in the Piedmont region of northern Italy that produces some of Italy’s greatest wines. For over ten years Slow Food researched the vineyards, the wines, and the history of this fascinating region, including the men and women who have made the wines of the Langhe famous.

A Wine Atlas of the Langhe explores the unique features of topography, soils, and climate that have enabled Barolo and Barbaresco to become recognized as two of the world’s most exclusive and highly prized wines.

‘Eyewitness Reports’ sprinkled throughout the book give readers a privileged insight into the rural culture and social life of the Langhe, through the words of the area’s oldest residents. Lovers of Italy or its classic wines will treasure this book. Travelers to Piedmont will find many recommendations for the best vineyards to visit, as well as the best places to stay and eat while in the region. Special care has been devoted to the illustrations, which include beautiful aerial photographs of the Langhe.
