The classified area includes numerous municipalities and 6 areas in particular: the Langa of Barolo, the hills of Barbaresco, Nizza Monferrato and Barbera, Canelli and Asti Spumante.

 

Carema Vineyard

 

The terraced vineyards of Carema have been able to take advantage of the most impervious slopes of the mountain to cultivate the Nebbiolo with which the Carema DOC wine is produced. The Carema DOC denomination dates back to 1967 but this wine was already highly appreciated in the fifteenth century. It is produced with Nebbiolo vine grown here with ancient methods.

 

Dolcetto d'Alba

 

Dolcetto is the most typical wine of the Langhe, considered autochthonous. In the past, it was also the most widespread, while today it has been surpassed by Barbera. Originally from lower Piedmont, in Monferrato, this vine is now mainly widespread between Langhe and Tortona.
