Gourmet sunset with chef Giuseppe D'Errico

The International White Truffle of Alba Fair is one of the main showcases of haute gastronomy and Italian excellence.

The theme chosen for the 2026 edition, Authentic Relationships, represents the natural continuation of the thematic paths developed in recent editions.

After placing the future, the intelligence of nature, and deep respect for the earth at the center, the Fair now intends to explore the value of authentic relationships: those between man and nature, between community and landscape, between tradition and innovation, between the territory and the world, and between those who safeguard the truffle heritage and those who discover it through tourist and cultural experiences.

The new image of the 2026 edition visually captures this approach: the paw of the tabui, the truffle dog, rests on the Tuber magnatum Picco held by a human hand, in a gesture of delivery, trust, and reciprocity.

Gourmet sunset

A Chef of excellence performs in a refined cooking show, preparing live two small gastronomic creations designed to accompany a glass of Alta Langa Docg and a tasting of Vermouth di Torino IGP.

An experience of taste and style, to be lived in an intimate and engaging atmosphere.

It includes:

• Aperitif with two dishes proposed by the chef
• A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
• S.Bernardo water
• A 100g panettoncino by Galup
• The Tartufo Regale, an exclusive artisanal praline created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati, which faithfully reproduces the shape and color of the famous Alba Truffle.

Giuseppe D’Errico

Born in 1987, he developed an intuitive and sensory connection with food.

After training at the Accademia Internazionale della Cucina Italiana di Gualtiero Marchesi, he worked with starred chefs in Italy and France.

The influence of Marchesi pushed him to explore the culinary world, leading him to Maison Troisgros, where he grew as a sous-chef under the guidance of Michel Troisgros.

His experience at Maison Troisgros, a three-star Michelin restaurant since 1968, contributed to his professional and personal maturation.

This sensory and ethical training guided him toward obtaining a Michelin Star in 2018 as Executive Chef at Ristorante Ornellaia in Zurich and the recognition of 17/20 points from Gault-Millau.

In 2021, he returned to Italy to work at La Madernassa Ristorante & Resort, where he collaborated with the owners to expand and refine his culinary approach, characterized by a unique and complex sensory path.

Beppe Fenoglio Hall

The Hall is dedicated to the writer from Alba Beppe Fenoglio (1922 – 1963), author of works such as Il Partigiano Johnny, Una questione privata, and Primavera di bellezza.

In the splendid monumental complex of the Magdalene Courtyard, the center of Alba’s cultural life, two large works by Gallizio face each other on the walls of the conference hall dedicated to Beppe Fenoglio.

This hall, set up during the Truffle Fair, hosts the Cooking Shows.
