Exploring the Rich, Robust and Aromatic Wines of Langhe Wine Region
Langhe wine region - wine as a vocation
“Out of all the wine regions I could choose from, one is Piedmont, particularly the southern part, Langhe.
I love to mention it as my favourite region as it’s the one where I deeply feel in love with the wine, not just as a drink or a concept but as a vocation.”
It’s easier to choose a favourite wine region than to choose a favourite wine
Despite this being an easy question, compared to “What is your favourite wine?”, it’s still hard to choose just one region out of the entire worldwide production.
As a wine industry professional for more than a decade, I have had the opportunity to taste various types of wine. Among the things that impress me the most about wine is its elegance.
For me, a wine’s elegance comes from its balance, depth, and complexity. It’s fascinating how a wine can evoke such diverse sensations in a person, from the aroma, the taste, the texture, to the aftertaste.
I find wines that have high acidity and a subtle fruitiness to be particularly appealing, rather than those that are full-bodied and explosive.
For these reason, I love all the areas or producers that can offer a wine with these characteristics.

Read MoreOut of all the wine regions I could choose from, one is Piedmont, particularly the southern part, Langhe.
I love to mention it as my favourite region as it’s the one where I deeply feel in love with the wine, not just as a drink or a concept but as a vocation.
I know, it’s one of the most renowned wine regions in the world and it’s easy to say “My favourite wine is Barolo”, a superstar in this environment. But what makes the region so unique to me is the atmosphere. It’s a peaceful, harmonious, lovely place where silence and colour help you reconnect with nature.
The wine offer is wide and it’s not restricted to reds with big names like Barolo and Barbaresco (both made with Nebbiolo grape) or their “younger brothers ” like Barbera and Dolcetto.
The region is rich in native grape varieties and Arneis, Timorasso, Erbaluce, Gattinara, Ghemme are all to esteem.
Knowing them is also a great way to familiarise yourself with the region’s culinary style and find the best pairings between the traditional recipes and its wines.
Bear in mind that this region also produces sparkling wines, going from dry (like Alta Langa) to sweet (like Moscato D’Asti), perfect for accompanying food from the beginning to the end of the meal.
