Farigliano.

A Dolcetto village in the Langhe hills

Wine TastingHiking

Farigliano sits among vineyard hills in the Langhe, close to Dogliani, in the part of Piedmont most associated with Dolcetto. Rows of vines cover the hillsides, turning gold and copper by harvest time in September.

The village keeps a quiet pace tied to the farming calendar. Small family-run wineries open their cellars for tastings, often pouring the current vintage next to older bottles still aging below ground. The wider Langhe is known for truffles and hazelnuts as well as regional cheeses, and these turn up on menus in trattorias around Farigliano.

Paths through the surrounding countryside link Farigliano to nearby hamlets, crossing vineyard rows and old farmhouses along the way. The rhythm of the place follows the vines: buds and blossom in spring, slow ripening through summer, the harvest rush in autumn, and a quieter stretch once the leaves fall and the cellars settle into winter.
