Discovering the White Truffle of Alba in the Langhe
Authentic experience with Bianco Tartufi
Right in front of Speziale Wine Resort the nature adventure begins with Bianco Tartufi, two “trifulau”, young truffle-hunters who carry on this ancient craft with passion. Together with their dogs, they will guide you through the search for white and black truffles amidst the woods and hills of the Langhe, where each step tells a story and every scent evokes emotion.
UNESCO Intangible Heritage
The search and digging of truffles in Italy have been recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, a testimony to a tradition passed down through generations, rooted in respect for nature, knowledge of the land and a profound bond between man, dog and earth.
The philosophy of search
During the hunt you’ll discover the philosophy behind the truffle-hunters: patience, silence and harmony with nature. Bianco Tartufi offers authentic experiences, perfect for those who wish to live the truffle’s magic firsthand, understand its secrets and listen to the legends that surround it. A unique way to enter the heart of the Langhe and breathe its truest soul.
A sensory experience – podcast and forest sounds
To immerse yourself even deeper in the forest atmosphere and hear the voices of the truffle-hunters, we suggest listening to the podcast Trifolau (ChoraMedia) on Spotify, masterfully narrated by Mario Calabresi, where forest sounds and the story of the work merge into a sensory journey.
