ALBA: GOOD THINGS (AND WINE) COME IN SMALL PACKAGES
Alba is not just a provincial town. Don't be fooled by its small size, since it's well known that "good things (and wine) come in small packages." This saying describes Alba exactly, both literally and metaphorically. Let's find out why together. Alba holds hidden treasures and is a real treat for true connoisseurs. Walking through the streets and crossing Piazza Savona is like taking a journey through time, amidst the medieval historical palaces, traditional tower houses and Renaissance buildings. Take advantage of Alba’s special features and spend a few days in another time, away from the stress of work and daily life. This city, nestled in the vineyard covered hills of Langhe and Roero, can take you on another type of journey as well, a gastronomic one. For wine and food lovers, Alba represents excellence, the kind of excellence any Gentleman continually looks for, making every single moment of his life memorable. Which restaurant will you pick to make your stay exclusive and memorable? The best of them all is "Piazza Duomo". With its three Michelin stars, it was judged fifteenth place in the "The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2017". Leaving the centre, you find the "La Rei Restaurant at the Boscareto Resort & SPA", a 5-star luxury resort that enjoys breathtaking views of the Langhe hills. La Rei is a multi-storey restaurant inside the resort. In the end, its also worth the 15-minute drive to get to "Le Ciau Del Tornavento" in Treiso and taste the best wines from one of Italy's most complete wineries.
Taking about being memorable, we can't help but dwell on the flavour this gourmet food experience takes on during the Bianco d'Alba International Truffle Fair, a world-renowned event, which takes place this year from October 7th to November 26th. Smelling the scent of truffles, tasting them accompanied by typical dishes such as raw fassona beef and tajarin, while trying an excellent goblet of Barolo or Barbaresco, is a unique and not-to-be-missed culinary experience.
Alba's "cask" offers a "wine" that meets the demands of every Gentleman, and we at Boggi Milano know how exigent these can be. That's why you'll also find us there to meet your needs:
