Alba is the perfect starting point to explore the wonders of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato. An ideal place to discover rolling hills, vineyards, historic villages and authentic flavours.
Alba is considered the world capital of the white truffle, Tuber magnatum Pico. For centuries, this rare truffle has been harvested in autumn in the hills of the Langhe and Roero. Local truffle hunters, assisted by specially trained dogs, keep this ancient tradition alive. Each year, the town hosts the International White Truffle Fair, a prestigious event that attracts Michelin-starred chefs, gourmets, and visitors from all over the world.
The Langhe are gentle hills covered with vineyards, hazelnut groves and charming villages. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, they offer breathtaking views in every season and are ideal for walks, cycling tours and fine wine tastings.
Asti is a historic city in Piedmont, known for its Gothic cathedral, numerous medieval towers, and the Palio d’Asti, the oldest horse race in Italy. It is also the birthplace of the sparkling wine Asti Spumante, a symbol of the region’s wine-making heritage.
Barbaresco and Barolo are two iconic villages of the Langhe, each giving its name to a prestigious wine made from the Nebbiolo grape.
Barbaresco is known for its floral notes and refined elegance.
Barolo, often called “the king of wines,” produces powerful, complex reds with excellent aging potential.
Both wines pair beautifully with traditional Piedmontese dishes, especially truffle-based pasta.
Canelli is a charming village in the heart of the Asti wine region. It is famous for its “underground cathedrals”, vast cellars carved into the tufa rock. These UNESCO World Heritage sites have been used for centuries to produce and age the region’s renowned wines, especially Asti Spumante and Moscato d’Asti.
The Barolo Trail is a hiking route through Piedmont’s most famous vineyards, with stops at historic wineries and unforgettable views over the surrounding hills.
The Alta Langa is the wildest part of the Langhe, with higher hills, dense forests and ancient villages. Perfect for those seeking peace, nature hikes and local products like Tuma cheese.
