" The link between our Alta Langa Docg wines and the White Truffle of Alba in recent years has become gradually tighter. A common territory of origin, a common sense of taste, a common feeling that has brought us closer and allowed to live an experience that starts from the table but goes well beyond. By now the pairing of the Alta Langa bubbles and the White Truffle has made its way and established itself among the recipes of chefs and in the desires of those who love good The collaboration of the Consortium with the Fair Authority and with all the actors of this extraordinary event that is the International Alba White Truffle Fair is consolidated year after year and also in this 2021 we are happy that it is just a toast of Alta Langa Docg to greet the "New Year" of the Truffle: a symbolic and important moment to spread a deeper culture about the Truffle and to take stock of the true protagonist of the International Fair: this precious and irreplaceable fruit of our terre "commented the president of the Alta Langa Consortium , Giulio Bava .

These trees can be cared for directly by farmers, or agreements can be established with trifolao associations that take care of them in order to promote good practices for the development and maintenance of truffles on the territory of the high hills of the Langa. associations move in this direction: like and more than planting a vine, planting a tree means having the ability to imagine the future. in the direction of a better world ".
