Cerretto Langhe

This tiny Cuneo enclave of fewer than 400 residents shapes some of Piedmont's most exclusive tastes. Cerretto Langhe’s high-altitude maritime winds and steep pastures nurture the sheep behind Murazzano DOP, a rare cheese produced in a zone of just 50 municipalities. These same slopes yield the crisp, Metodo Classico sparkling wines of Alta Langa DOCG. Though small, the village boasts 21 protected denominations overlapping its territory, and hosts 1 verified producer who is open for visits. Here, the sharp mountain air and historic clay soils turn challenging terrain into concentrated, globally acclaimed flavors.
