Canavese & Torinese

Canavese and the Torinese hills sit near the Alps, where altitude and morainic soils keep reds lighter and make Erbaluce one of Piemonte's sharpest whites.

Continue through the region

  1. Alto Piemonte11 producersAlto Piemonte is cooler and higher, with old Nebbiolo-based blends grown on volcanic and glacial soils that make the wines leaner, spicier and more mineral than the Langhe.
  2. Langhe149 producersLanghe is the Nebbiolo core of Piemonte: Barolo and Barbaresco sit on calcareous marl hills where late ripening gives pale colour, perfume and serious tannin.
  3. Monferrato & Asti34 producersMonferrato and Asti are Piemonte's more varied hills, where Barbera brings dark acidity, Dolcetto stays easy, and Moscato turns limestone slopes into sweet fizz.
  4. Roero9 producersRoero lies across the Tanaro from the Langhe, with sandier soils that soften Nebbiolo and make Arneis the white-grape counterpoint.
