A mysterious and fascinating ingredient, a secret and complex craft: that between the trifulau and his dog is a close relationship based on trust and mutual respect, which only comes about after many years of experience.
Few people have the opportunity to experience this moment of research at first hand, precisely because of its secretive nature. Indeed, trifulau are used to wandering alone, sometimes at night, far from prying eyes. The truffle is a limited commodity that only grows in certain areas, in specific and never certain habitats... So the interest in keeping these places hidden is understandable! No?
For two reasons: one, because we believe that the only way to fully understand the uniqueness and quality of our truffles is to see us at work, and the second because it is true that we reveal a few secrets... But not all of them!
Although it is an actual 'search', with a professional trifulau and his favourite 'tabui' (dog), what you will be taking part in is a simulated activity.
This simply means that some of the truffles are first buried by the Trifulau so that he can demonstrate how the work is done.
However, as the search takes place in a natural truffle ground, it is possible that truffles that have not been artificially buried, but have grown spontaneously on site, may also be found!
But you cannot search for truffles without tasting them!
The experience continues at the Enoteca Monvino where we will guide you through a tasting of local black and white truffle specialities paired with 3 basic wines selected from the bottles of Monforte d'Alba producers.
Depending on the season, you can also taste fresh black or white truffles, but the evaluation and quotation will be handled directly on site.
