Alba is Italy's truffle capital. It's also the heart of a major Italian wine-producing area, where Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti Spumante, Cinzano and Martini and Rossi (just to name a few wines) are made. It's the center of Italian chocolate country too, as the headquarters of the multinational Ferrero company, which produces Ferrero Rochers and Nutella. And it's the heart of the magical Langhe area, a classic Italian landscape of grape-covered hills, medieval towns and dramatic castles.
