Langhe, which is the plural for the Italian word for “hills” (langa), is a subregion of Piedmont, Italy. Its location near the town of Asti gives it the geographical position to be home to some of the most prestigious of Piedmont’s wines such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Dogliani. Wines use the Langhe DOC labeling title when wine is produced from grapes of this growing region, but do not meet the labeling requirements for those previously mentioned styles. This labeling designation came about in 1994 as a way of allowing producers to be more experimental with their chosen varietals, possible blends, production styles and aging techniques. 
 
The history of wine-making from this region is extensive, dating back many centuries. And it is rich in its variety of indigenous and international grapes. Some of the whites grown in the region are Arneis, Nascetta, Favorita, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Some have their very own sub-labels according to grapes and vineyard Read more »

Shy, but typical nebbiolo nose - tar, but less pungent than many. Very fruity - cherry, not as acidic as many. Firm tannins. Very nice. A good lighter, fruitier Nebbiolo than many - nice.

    Donna Anita Lanche Arneis 2011

    Snoothrank:

    Very nice Italian white - roero arneis. Crisp, not overly fruity or citrusy, but a touch on the lighter side with a dab of white clay on the mid palate and fairly long finish. Great alternative to the chards and sauvignon blancs. Read More

    Merlot was commonly planted in the Langhe prior to WWII, so when faced with a plot that wasnt suitable for either Nebbiolo or Barbera the family chose to plant Merlot, they do not grow Dolcetto. This was intended to be their entry level wine, something softer and easy drinking but it has proven to be very challenging to sell and may be discontin... Read More
