To the north-east of Alba, the small section of the Langa which includes the communes of Barbaresco, Treiso, Neive and S. Rocco Seno d’Elvio, is all intensively laid out in vineyards and the hills open out sweetly in immense amphitheatres to fall almost sheerly where the Tanaro divides them from the plain. About 650 hectares of vineyards and little less than three million bottles of Barbaresco DOCG are produced. A wine of great prestige and tradition of Piedmont, made with selected grapes and aged in oak barrels. Because of its full flavour and austere, it’s suitable to be accompanied by important dishes.
