Le Langhe Piedmont | Piemonte 4k | Italy HD Drone Movie | Atellani
The stunning Langhe in the Piemonte (Piedmont) region in Italy.
Piedmont, a region of Italy bordering France and Switzerland, sits at the foot of the Alps. It’s known for sophisticated cuisine and wines such as Barolo and the Tartufo Bianco (White truffle). Turin, the capital, has abundant baroque architecture and the monumental landmark Mole Antonelliana, with its soaring spire. The Automobile Museum is devoted to Turin’s main industry. The Egyptian Museum displays archaeological and anthropological collections.
Le Langhe (The Langhe). 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 province of Cuneo in Piedmont, northern Italy.
It is famous for its wines, cheeses, and truffles—particularly the white truffles of 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, Langhe were inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage list. They bear witness to an extremely comprehensive social, rural and urban realm, and to sustainable economic structures. They include a multitude of harmonious 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. The wine growing landscape also expresses great aesthetic qualities, making it into an archetype of European vineyards. Feature in the video are three gorgeous villages:
SERRALUNGA D'ALBA with the amazing castle that overlooks the town and hits the visitor for his gothic architecture. It's front is made of bricks with little arches. Few windows, and only at the top. The way in was guarded by a wide ditch, a rolling shutter and a drawbridge. Inside you can see still some fireplaces, wood ceilings and a chapel with frescoes. Slender and majestic, the Castle of Serralunga d'Alba overshadows one of the most beautiful and historically intact villages of the Langhe, surrounded by the hills of Barolo vineyards. Considered to be one of the best-conserved examples of 14th century noble castles in Piedmont, this castle represents a unique piece of history in Italy with an architecutral structure of a French donjon.
The castle's construction was carried out between 1340 – the year in which the Falletti family received its estate as recompense for military involvement – and 1357. This information is gleaned from documents that register a sale carried out in one of the castle rooms.
The fact that it was never the object of military importance nor was it structurally transformed over the centuries have kept this castle unaltered. Its Medieval fortress is, in fact, the original structure.
Instead of military use, this castle was used throughout the centuries as a point of control over the production activities in the territory, as evidenced by its imposing, vertical stance that was intended to emphasize the prestige of the Falletti family.
BOSSOLASCO is one of the main touristic centers of the Langhe. Set in a wonderful panoramic place, it’s the official site of the Mountain Community.
The historical center of the town has been decorated with thousands of roses, and in summer all balconies are enriched with flowers. Bossolasco is also known as the “Il PAESE DELLE ROSE” (Village of the roses)
The Balestrino castle, on the road to Murazzano, was built in 1600, while the parish church is a 14-century Gothic stone building.
The patronal fair takes place in June, on saint John the Baptist’s day.
PERLETTO is characterized by a tall medieval square tower, a trace of the ancient castle. The chapel of sant’Antonio (1100) is built in an austere Romanic style.
On the first Sunday in September the patronal fair is held; during the fair it’s possible to taste wonderful wines (Dolcetto and Moscato above all).

The Coolest White Truffle Hunting at Alba in Italy with CiCi Li, CiCiLicious Vlog #74
Truffle Hunting is a very exciting experience. A white truffle hunter is accompanied by..... a dog! In fact, white truffles grow under the ground, so only with dog's sense of smell and intuition could lead us to white truffles.
12 Dos and Don'ts in Piedmont Region in Italy. It was my first trip to Italy...
After not being able to sleep on the plane for 10 hours, we arrived at Turin in Italy with 6 hours of jetlag versus New York. For the first time: hearing people spoke Italian everywhere but not English; seeing Romanesque and Baroque styled building everywhere but not Skyscrapers; smelling super fresh air in the sky everywhere but not polluted air from yellow cabs.
They also say sì sì sì sì sì sì wherever I go, which sounds like I'm super popular there... CiCi CiCi CiCi! So I was no longer tired. I was so eager to discover every single detail of this region! Here are some dos and don'ts for you!
Dos:
1. Bring European adaptor plug.
2. Wear comfortable shoes and stylist clothing.
3. Exchange dollars to euros.
4. Bring Amex or Capital One cards if you have because they don't charge exchange rate.
5. Have breakfast in the hotel because most of them include breakfast.
6. Go to the top of National Cinema Museum and you will see the view of the entire Turin.
7. Check out the Piazza Castello, the heart of the city, where Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Madama, the Royal Library and Armoury, the Teatro Regio and the church of San Lorenzo are located.
8. Drink a cup of Bicerin, a traditional hot drink for Turin, made of espresso, chocolate, and milk.
9. Check out Fontanafredda, one of the most historical wine cellar in Alba.
10. Join a white truffle hunting tour in Alba. It's one of the most exciting of experiences for truffle enthusiasts. A white truffle hunter is accompanied by..... a dog! In fact, white truffles grow under the ground, so only with dog's sense of smell and intuition could lead us to white truffles.
11. Visit the International Alba White Truffle Festival. They have been celebrating the harvest of white truffles since 1929 from every early October through mid-November.
12. Bring white truffles, hazelnuts, chocolates, and wines such as Barberesco and Barolo back as Souvenirs. In case you do bring white truffles back, be aware that they only last for a week.
Don'ts:
1. Don't order Cappuccino after 11am because it only serves in the morning.
2. Don't order soda with your meals because people only drink wine or water with meals.
3. Don't order Diet Coke because they only have Light Coke and it's a girly and childish drink.
4. Don't order food to go unless is a pizza place.
5. Don't eat a salad before main course because they consider a side dish not appetizer.
6. Don't drive in Alba as they have super tiny routes and mountain routes.
7. Don't use their toilet papers too hard because most of them are harder and rougher than what we have in the US...
8. Don't go to the shops from 12:30pm to 4pm because they usually take 3 to 4 hours lunch break.
9. Don't go to the bank in the afternoon because they only open in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon.
10. Don't give money to the baggers because then they won't leave you alone.
11. Don't wear tank top and shorts in a Church.
12. Tipping is not required. Indeed, tipping people you personally know is considered offensive.
