Langhe Rosato and Langhe Bianco
Langhe Rosato (rosè Langhe wine) and Langhe Bianco (white Langhe wine), are wines that were conceived thanks to the Langa and Roero wine-growers following the practical tradition of selecting the grapes, depending on their quality, in their own vineyards.
Due to their noble characteristics, these wines have been able, over the years, to create important niches in the world-wide market, making it possible for the Langhe wines, produced with autochthonous grapes, to obtain a denomination of origin.
Regarding the context of the DOC Langhe, it is worth underlining that these two particular wines, that have no special mention relating to the actual vine, can be produced with purely Langhe grapes, or blended with other grapes. This possibility has stimulated wine growers to produce the so called “company wines”.
The denomination Langhe summarises in a nut shell the territory’s viticultural vocation, which is extremely varied and dynamic, therefore offering a wide range of vines and types of wines. The Langa area boasts an uncommon variation of soil, which is unknown to any other Italian (and possibly in the world too) vine-growing area. The fact that the soil has so many different characteristics, among which, calcareous, sandy, clayey, rich in marl, all mixed together in a unique way, justifies the elevated number of vines that have been cultivated here.
