The Alta Langa Consortium confirms its position as the Main Sponsor of the Alba International White Truffle Fair.

" Alta Langa DOCG returns to the International Alba White Truffle Fair again this year ," comments Giovanni Minetti, President of the Alta Langa Consortium , "and once again plays a leading role, serving as the Official Sparkling Wine alongside the Alba White Truffle at the event's most significant moments. For us producers, this is always a very significant event and a source of great pride for the opportunity to showcase our product alongside a gem of Italian gastronomy renowned at fine dining venues around the world ."

The Alba White Truffle season officially opens on October 1st, and as is tradition, on the night of September 30th, Alba celebrates the start of the hunt with the Truffle New Year , ushering in a season that is at once agricultural, gastronomic, and spiritual. This symbolic moment of celebration will culminate in Piazza Risorgimento with a toast of Alta Langa DOCG.

The Alba International White Truffle Fair will open its doors to the public on Saturday, October 11th, with entrance to the Cortile della Maddalena from Piazzetta Falcone.

The Alta Langa DOCG wines of the Consortium members will be offered for tasting in the Grande Enoteca within the World Truffle Market, the heart of the Fair.

During over 30 cooking shows (held in the Beppe Fenoglio Hall, where renowned chefs will prepare their own recipes featuring the Alba White Truffle), Piedmontese Alte Bollicine will be paired with gourmet creations inspired by the expert talents of some of the greatest names in national and international cuisine. New this year will be the Tramonti Gourmet: Aperitivi d'Eccellenza (Gourmet Sunsets: Aperitivi d'Eccellenza) , which will enrich the program with a new cooking show format: an elegant Italian aperitivo combining culinary art with the pleasure of toasting. In an intimate and evocative atmosphere, the guest chef will prepare two small gastronomic creations live, designed to accompany a glass of Alta Langa DOCG and an original cocktail made with Vermouth di Torino PGI mixed with Alta Langa DOCG.

On Sunday, October 12th at 3 pm in the Beppe Fenoglio Room, the Alta Langa DOCG workshop will be held, discovering the High Piedmontese Bubbles , a workshop to deepen your knowledge of the Alta Langa DOCG denomination: history, terroir, people and four glasses of Piedmontese bubbles.

Meanwhile, on Sunday, November 16th, again at 3 pm, in the Sala Vittorio Riolfo (and again with access from the Cortile della Maddalena), Alta Langa DOCG will be the protagonist of the Masterclass organized by wine writers Othmar Kiem and Simon Staffler of the specialized magazine Falstaff in collaboration with the Langhe, Monferrato and Roero Tourism Board.

Alta Langa DOCG will also be offered to guests at "Cene Insolite" (Unusual Dinners) , unique occasions where top national and international chefs encounter the Alba White Truffle. These opportunities allow you to discover historic and cultural sites through a guided tour, culminating in a superb dinner prepared by prestigious Michelin-starred chefs (this year, Karime Lopez and Takahiko Kondo - Gucci Osteria*, Matias Perdomo – Contraste*, Gaetano Trovato - Arnolfo Ristorante**, Floriano Pellegrino - Ristorante Bros'*, and Luigi Taglienti).

This year's edition of the International Alba White Truffle Fair focuses on the value of respect : for the environment and biodiversity that make the Alba White Truffle possible, for the animals involved in the hunt, for the product itself, and for consumers, ensuring quality, authenticity, and transparency. This vision unites territory, tradition, and gastronomic culture in a model of excellence and sustainability recognized worldwide.
