About Us...

"Alba del Tartufo (Truffle Dawn) embodies the promise of the morning: the reward of the «Trifulau's» nocturnal labors, the wonder that emerges from the darkness. Each truffle is a secret brought to light by dawn."

 

Truffle hunting is much more than a job: it's an epic journey, a descent into darkness that challenges patience and determination. It's a dance between shadow and light, an ancient ritual that speaks of transformation, sacrifice, and discovery. At the man's side, a Lagotto with lively eyes and a passion for hunting, always ready to follow the call of the land and please his companion in adventure.

 

This connection, made of glances, instinct, and trust, is the beating heart of our story. It all began in 2009, when we decided to breed Lagotto Romagnoli dogs on our farm, training them carefully to search for the precious truffle in our natural truffle ground, in the heart of the Tortona Hills.

The Winter Truffle (Tuber Brumale Vittadini),
a bold and persistent aroma with organoleptic hints of nutmeg, it's ideal for those who love strong, defined aromas. It's available in winter, between December and March.
The Whitish Truffle (Tuber Borchii Vittadini),
with a spicy flavor and notes of garlic and undergrowth, it is also known as "Marzuolo" because it is harvested from January until late spring.
The Scorzone Truffle (Tuber Aestivum),
it is one of the most widespread truffle varieties: except for a brief spring break, it can be found year-round, often in large quantities, under oak, hazelnut, poplar, and pine trees. It resembles porcini mushrooms, enriched with a bouquet of complex notes.
The Scorzone Truffle (Tuber Uncinatum Chatin),
it ripens mainly in autumn, from October to December, on predominantly clayey or humus-rich soils. It has hints of hazelnuts with notes of porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.
The Prized White Truffle (Tuber Magnatum Pico),
It is considered the king of Piedmontese cuisine for its intense aroma and unmistakable flavor, so much so that it is appreciated throughout the world.
