Land

THE LANGHE

An extension of gentle hills as far as the eye can see, speckled by ancient hamlets, majestic castles and high bell towers. A magic wavy landscape made precious by a variety of colour shades generated by the spontaneous vegetation and the vineyards surrounded by the Alps in the background.
A land of household wines with an outstanding cuisine, but also with historical and cultural roots in the province of Cuneo, ranked among the most active and productive in the Piedmont region.

DOGLIANI

Placed in the centre of a natural valley, Dogliani always surprises and amazes visitors.
A vast and assorted territory deserves to be discovered with its particularities and authenticities; an unequalled panorama created by the endless mild landscapes, gentle hills, wide valleys framing the lines of the vineyards. Countless pieces of art, culture and hundreds of years of traditions.
Above all wine represents the most precious suggestion of this generous land that knows how to pair and highlight its typical cuisine, rich of unique and unforgettable flavours.
