ALBA E LE LANGHE
Hotels, B&B and
"agriturismo"
Those who have not
visited the Langhe cannot claim to know Piedmont. A
splendid reallife idyll of hills almost entirely dedicated to the cultivation of
wine grapes and hazelnuts, among the cstles, palaces and other reminders of the
past. Home of the great Piedmont writers, fenoglio and
Pavese, who describe the Langhe as a true landscape of the soul.
Even without the magic
views of vineyards, even if this region did not produce some of the best vintage
wines in the world and even if Cesare Pavese and Beppe Fenoglio had not
immortalised the region in their stories full of poetry, the Langhe would still
be a unique place, with its castles and villages nestling on a balcony of hills,
overlooking the Alps to the west and the sea to the south.
