Langhe
Wine · PDO · 93 municipalities
Unlike its highly restrictive, single-varietal neighbors Barolo and Barbaresco, the Langhe DOC, recognized since 1996, accommodates a diverse spectrum of both blended and single-varietal wines across 93 municipalities including Alba. What sets this denomination apart is its precise tiering: it permits a prestigious 'vigna' single-vineyard designation for only ten specific varietals, which strictly lowers maximum yields to 8 tonnes per hectare. Furthermore, the appellation carves out a highly localized subzone, 'Nascetta del comune di Novello', dedicated exclusively to the white Nascetta grape, requiring 100% varietal purity and at least five months of mandatory aging.
