Dogliani (Italian pronunciation: [doʎˈʎaːni]) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Cuneo in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Turin and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northeast of Cuneo.
Dogliani borders the following municipalities: Belvedere Langhe, Bonvicino, Bossolasco, Cissone, Farigliano, Lequio Tanaro, Monchiero, Monforte d'Alba, Roddino, and Somano.
Aside from local craftmanship, the economy is mostly based on agriculture: most of the area is occupied by vines, used for the production of the Dolcetto di Dogliani wine. There are also several woods of common hazels.
Dogliani is also known for its Presepio Vivente Archived 2019-05-12 at the Wayback Machine. A tradition started in 1975 that occurs yearly on the night of December 23 and 24 where the town's citizens enact the nativity scene.
