Vite di Langa e Roero

Among the hills of Langa and Roero, roots, stories, and lives intertwine, shaping one of Italy's most captivating regions.

From the pioneers of vermouth and Piedmontese wines to the farmers who knew how to read the land with humility and ingenuity, this book tells the story of how a rural civilization has transformed over time while remaining true to its soul.

Carlo Petrini and Paolo Tibaldi guide the reader on a journey that brings together history, culture, wine, and community: from the courts of the House of Savoy to the farmhouses, from the battles for the dignity of labor to the birth of Slow Food, and up to today's challenges.

A vivid and passionate narrative that invites us to rediscover our roots and understand how the strength of a region lies in the people who inhabit it, in their gestures, and in their memory.
