Where Nature, Culture, and Flavors Become a Masterpiece.

The Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero are three hilly areas in southern Piedmont crossed by the Tanaro River, which are rich in history, culture, and unique landscapes; a landscape of hills characterized by rows of vines, scenic castles, and authentic flavors considered a “small homeland” of traditions, dialect, and especially gastronomy, its ancient roots embedded in rural communities. In 2014, the hills of the Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site due to their unique cultural landscape. This recognition highlights the harmonious combination of nature and human activity, the result of centuries of agricultural and viticultural work that has shaped the area in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.

The rolling hills, tidy vineyards, historic villages, and castles are not only a sight to behold, but tell a story of deep-rooted traditions and a priceless balance between human beings and nature. This cultural landscape is an extraordinary example of how people can enhance an area while preserving its identity and biodiversity.

The UNESCO recognition has helped promote the protection and development of these lands, supporting sustainable tourism and local economies, and underscoring the role of the Langhe, Monferrato, and Roero as a symbol of food, wine, and cultural excellence worldwide.
