Niella Tanaro

Rising above the banks of the Tanaro River in Cuneo, this Piedmontese enclave of 941 residents nurtures a specialized microclimate for viticulture. Here, the steep hillside terroir places the village inside the restricted, twenty-one-municipality zone of Dogliani DOCG, a robust Dolcetto-based red wine. Niella Tanaro acts as a vital agricultural intersection, overlapping with 21 protected denominations in total, including the prestigious Langhe DOC and Alta Langa DOCG. The alpine breezes sweeping through the river valley naturally preserve the distinct character of these classic northern Italian wines.
