Historic, tile-roofed Alba is the gateway to the Langhe wine regions, with their noble appellations of Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG.
As well as wine – famous even at the time Pliny the Elder was writing – it is the world’s top destination for truffles – and most prestigiously the white truffle of Alba.
MTW customers visit Alba as part of our ‘Borderlands‘ series of self-guided walks, on the Barolo and the Maritime small group guided trip, and within the 3/4/5 nights in Barolo itineraries.
