Audioguía The Truffle Hunter Path - Sentiero del Trifolao

The Truffle Hunter Path: a panoramic path going through the favorite places of truffle seekers, from the top village to the hazel groves and orher truffle-maker plants positioned at the bottom of the valley.
Areas frequented, especially by night, by truffle hunters with their trained dogs to discover truffles underground. Truffles that grow in the sandy soil of Rocche of Roero are the most fragrant and perfumed, and are very appreciated by the chefs for its rounded shape, easy to clean.
With a short detour prom the Path is possible to reach the Valtesio didactic wood, a small public gorve where many truffle-maker trees have been planted.
Then the Path close its itinerary along fine historical vineyards to the summit of Vezza d'Alba, important centre for the local viticulture, attested until 1473.
