Tourists can choose among a wide variety of programs to know the famous territory of white truffles and precious Italian wines better and above all as protagonists.

The excellent aroma is the adjective which celebrates the quality of the precious Tuber magnatum Pico, the authentic rarity of Alba, Langhe and Roero. A territory which in autumn completely dedicates itself to oenogastronomic events. September, October and November are the months of vintage, the magnificent research of truffles and the markets of the most important white truffle in the world.
