DOCG area for red wine in the Italian region of Piedmont. The vineyards cover around 500 hectares of vines, mostly on hills at around 200 to 400 metres above sea level. They are located in the Langhe hills in four municipalities in the province of Cuneo. The vineyards are divided into numerous small parcels, of which 66 are officially demarcated single vineyard sites (MGA). These may be labelled with the prefix Vigna.

Climate & soil

The climate is temperate continental with warm summers and often foggy autumns, which ensure that the grapes ripen slowly. The vineyards are mostly located on hills at around 200 to 400 metres above sea level and benefit from good exposure (sunlight) due to predominantly south or south-west facing slopes. The soils consist mainly of calcareous marl and clay formed from marine sediments. These soils have a good water retention capacity, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly. This results in structured, tannin-rich and long-lasting red wines.
