Itinerary and white truffle tasting: discover the flavours of Piedmont in the Audi RS6 Avant

If you are looking for a weekend full of taste and fun, today we take you to the wine-growing landscapes of the Piedmont hills for delicious food and wine tour, where you can enjoy a Langhe truffle tasting and other specialities of these lands. You can choose the Audi RS6 Avant rental to travel the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato road and to admire in grand style this territory, declared a Unesco World Heritage Site thanks to its wine-growing hills, its gastronomic tradition and its cultural landscape.

Piedmont truffle tasting on the Audi RS6 Avant super sports car

For a sensory journey based on adventure, good wine and Langhe truffle tasting, you can start right here. The Langhe-Roero and Monferrato road runs through 130 kilometres of lower Piedmont through castles, ancient villages, typical trattorias and prestigious cellars. Here man and nature have lived in harmony for centuries and an atmosphere reigns in which peace wisely mixes with amazement.

Audi RS6 Avant rental is perfect for making the most of these amazing landscapes. Start your journey from Alba, the kingdom of truffles. In Alba, you can delight your palate with a real white truffle tasting, but also stroll through the streets of the centre, visit the Cathedral and the towers, and discover the secrets of the underground city together with an archaeologist who will show you the ancient temple, the baptismal font, the forum and the Roman theatre. From historic trattorias to starred restaurants, in Alba, you can easily find and taste traditional Piedmontese dishes based on truffles. If you are looking for a fun and unconventional experience, try the white truffle hunt. It is a simulated hunt inside a truffle ground in the woods surrounding Alba, led by a Trifolau, a particular figure typical of Piedmont who looks for and collects truffles, and by his faithful truffle dog. After experiencing the thrill of a real truffle hunt, the spoils will be served as part of a lunch or dinner of Alba white truffle tasting.

The Audi RS6 Avant to reach the villages of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato

The soft hills of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato are dotted with splendid villages, small jewels set among the green hills, renowned for their food and wine traditions and artistic heritage. Among these, we point out some villages that are definitely worth a stop:

• La Morra, a very small town perched on a hill from which you can enjoy the best view of all the Langhe: climb to the top of the Bell Tower to admire the complete panorama. Also, visit the municipal cellar in Palazzo Marchesi di Barolo to taste and discover the best products of the local vineyards;
• Verduno, with its famous cellar inside the Castle, where you can taste the traditional Basadone wine. Here too, many trattorias will delight you with a typical Piedmont truffle tasting and other specialities such as local porcini mushrooms;
• Barolo, the birthplace of the homonymous wine, one of the finest in Italy. Inside Castello Falletti is the WiMu wine museum with its twenty-five exhibition rooms, an unmissable stop on your itinerary of flavours;
• Barbaresco, the ideal destination for a panoramic dinner overlooking the hills, based on good wine and truffles;
• Moncalvo, known as the smallest city in Italy, albeit rich in sumptuous palaces such as the house of the Marquises of Monferrato;
• Cella Monte, where you can visit the characteristic Infernot, the ancient underground cellars where fine wines such as Grignolino and Barbera rest for centuries;
• Rosignano Monferrato, a small village immersed in a fairytale atmosphere where, for a truly magical stay, it is possible to stay in the rooms of the Castle.
