Cerretto Langhe
Built around a hilltop settlement, Cerreto Langhe grew into a small agricultural commune in Piedmont’s Alta Langa. Its territory follows the rounded contours of the Langhe hills, where cultivated slopes, vineyard parcels, meadows and woodland alternate across the countryside. The village lies in the Province of Cuneo, in the higher part of the Langhe that gradually approaches the Ligurian Apennines. Farming remains central to the area’s identity: the wider Langhe are renowned for viticulture and for Piedmont hazelnuts, while woodland and pasture still shape the upland terrain. Cerreto Langhe has the dispersed character of a working hill community, with farms and small hamlets linked by roads that trace the ridges and valleys.

Few communities in Piedmont have a history as closely tied to the cultivation of vines and hazelnuts as Cerreto Langhe. Set in the upper Langhe, this small comune occupies a rolling stretch of Piedmontese hills between Alba and the Ligurian Apennines. Vineyards, hazel groves and woodland shape the countryside, while farmsteads and small settlements follow the ridgelines rather than gathering around a single urban centre. Cerreto Langhe belongs to the wider culinary landscape associated with Piedmont’s wines, hazelnuts and seasonal rural cooking. Its quiet roads provide a slower introduction to the Langhe beyond the region’s busiest wine towns. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Langhe hills.

Piedmont occupies Italy’s northwestern corner, between the Alps, the Apennines and the Po Valley. The Po, Italy’s longest river, begins in the Cottian Alps and flows east across the region’s plains, while vine-covered hills define the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato areas. Turin, Piedmont’s principal city, was the first capital of unified Italy from 1861 to 1865 and remains closely associated with the House of Savoy, grand boulevards and chocolate-making. Beyond the city, the region’s identity ranges from Alpine valleys to rice fields around Vercelli and renowned wine country.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
