The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato
The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, UNESCO wine region between River Po and Ligurian Apennines, Italy
The Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont spans rolling hills covered with grapevines, dotted with historic towns and farmland across three provinces in northern Italy. The region covers roughly 10,800 hectares where vineyards, settlements, and agricultural land form a continuous pattern.
This area had grapevines growing here since ancient times, when Etruscan and Celtic peoples met and started cultivating the land. Over centuries, local methods developed that made this one of Italy's important wine regions.
Wine growing has shaped how this land looks and how people live here, with knowledge passed down through families over many centuries. The old estates and medieval villages show how closely winemaking is tied to the community.
The best time to visit is from September through November, when the harvest takes place and the hills show their warmest colors. The rolling terrain is walkable, and small lodgings in the villages are close to each other.
Hidden underground in the Monferrato hills are old cellars called Infernot that were dug straight into the rock to keep wine cool naturally. These buried chambers show how earlier generations found clever ways to store their wine.
