The Langhe (Piedmontese: Langa ) are a northern Italian landscape in the Piedmont region . It lies between the upper Po Valley near Turin and the Ligurian Alps and belongs to the provinces of Cuneo and Asti . The hill country , which increases in height to the south, is bordered by the Tanaro and Bormida rivers flowing northwards .
The Langhe are divided into three areas:
The Bassa Langa (lower Langa), north-west of the Belbo , is characterized by rolling hills, on which mainly wine is grown. The wines grown here are world famous: Barolo , Barbera , Barbaresco and Langhe .
The Alta Langa (upper Langa), southeast of the Belbo, has higher hills and a harsher climate. The cultivation of hazelnuts dominates here .
The part of the Langhe in the southern part of the Asti province is known as Langa Astigiana . The largest city in this area is Alba , known as the truffle capital .
