Alba - UNESCO Creative City
Alba is in the Langhe Monferrato Roero area, within Piedmont, the northwest region of Italy, and is part of the UNESCO Heritage Site of the Vineyard Landscapes of the Langhe – Roero, and Monferrato in 2017, recognized as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.
The greater Alba territory hosts around 150,000 people, and gastronomy is the first economic engine of the territory, where small and multinational agricultural/food companies coexist.
The Langhe is in the southern part of Piedmont, close to the Maritime Alps and the Ligurian Apennines. The name means "tongues of the land" and refers to the elongated hills, often with very steep sides, which run parallel to each other to form deep and narrow valleys. This area is world-famous for its standing among wine territories, food heritages, and longstanding cultures.
