The Barolo Langa
Stretching over 3,000 hectares of orderly hills, shaped over the centuries by patient hands, the Barolo Langa lies at the extreme north-western edge of the Langhe. The vineyards follow the slopes in a regular pattern, resembling embroidery, and the landscape is consistent, achieving visual and cultural balance through monoculture.
These lands are the ideal habitat for Nebbiolo, one of Italy's oldest and most prized grape varieties. The combination of favourable microclimates, complex soils and handed-down expertise gives rise to Barolo: a noble wine in terms of its structure and longevity. Aged in wood, it tells the story of time.
To obtain this designation, the wine must be aged for a minimum of 38 months, of which at least 18 must be spent in barrels. In the silence of the cellars, time works its magic, softening, blending and transforming the wine.
As early as the nineteenth century, Barolo was representing Piedmont in European salons. Today, it remains a globally recognised symbol: an emblem of a winemaking identity that combines technique, tradition and terroir.
The heart of the designation is formed by seven municipalities: Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, Diano d'Alba, La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Novello and Serralunga d'Alba.
Every slope tells a story of care and scale. Medieval villages and castles are scattered throughout the vineyard landscape alongside historic cellars, wineries and farmhouses, which have passed down knowledge and traditions for generations.
The Barolo Langa is a delicate balance of agricultural practices and a shared vision. Each harvest renews a promise. Every bottle tells the story of a hill.
