The harmonious scenery of the Langhe and Montferrato hills. A sweeping roll of sloping heights that undulate there way placidly across the landscape to caress the horizon, vineyards that give way to hazel groves, to orchards, to woods and thickets in a ceaseless composition of shadows, shades, shimmers and movement.

The harmonious quality of the fertile landscape is enlivened by the patient work of man who has through his tenacity driven cultivation up the most impervious hilly slopes in search of the ideal position for his vineyards.

Land, climate, and steep locations have made it possible to develop and cultivate vines and achieve the extraordinary quality of the wines they produce. These fertile terrains, marly-clay and marly-sandy have offered ideal conditions for the spontaneous growth of the highly prized Magnatum Pico truffle.

Harvesting this "forbidden fruit" has something of the mysterious about it: it is carried out at night, far from indiscrete eyes, when expert searchers, the "Trifolau" (in Piedmont dialect), with their dogs, lovingly trained, combing through the valleys, the woodland areas, full of trufflegenic trees and digging up these pearls of intense perfume.

The fascination is such that it cannot be entirely encapsulated in the poetry of its natural environment: it is also history, the memory of civilizations and human traditions. Medieval remains, castles and impregnable towers narrating the multi-century history of a past that is often evoked in events and traditions that are passionately continued to this day.

The fascination of these locations is not easy to describe: it is made up of a harmonious blend of landscapes, traditions, sensations, odours� Nothing remains therefore but to invite you to come along and discover its treasures for yourselves.
