The '''Langhe''' ({{IPA|it|ˈlaŋɡe}}; ''Langa'' is from old dialect '''Mons Langa et Bassa Langa''') is a hilly area to the south and east of the river [[Tanaro]] in the provinces of [[province of Cuneo|Cuneo]] and [[province of Asti|Asti]] in [[Piedmont]], northern [[Italy]].

It is famous for its wines, cheeses, and [[truffle]]s—particularly the white truffles of [[Alba, (CN)|Alba]]. The countryside as it was in the first half of the 20th century features prominently in the writings of [[Beppe Fenoglio]] and [[Cesare Pavese]], who was born there, in [[Santo Stefano Belbo]].

On 22 June 2014, a part of the Langhe was inscribed on [[UNESCO]]'s [[World Heritage Site|World Heritage]] list<ref>[https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/new-unesco-world-heritage-sites/index.html CNN - UNESCO's newest World Heritage sites]</ref> for its cultural landscapes, an outstanding living testimony to winegrowing and [[winemaking]] traditions that stem from a long history, and that have been continuously improved and adapted up to the present day. They bear witness to an extremely comprehensive social, rural and urban realm, and to sustainable economic structures. They include a multitude of harmoniously built elements that bear witness to its history and its professional practices. 

Its vineyards constitute an outstanding example of man’s interaction with his natural environment. Following a long and slow evolution of winegrowing expertise, the best possible adaptation of grape varieties to land with specific soil and climatic components has been carried out, which in itself is related to winemaking expertise, thereby becoming an international benchmark. The winegrowing landscape also expresses great aesthetic qualities, making it an archetype of European vineyards.
