What's this about Peidmont and Alba truffles? I haven't a clue what you're referring to, can you elaborate?

The most intensely aromatic white truffles from the piedmonte region of northern? Italy, near the town of Alba, (hence the name white alba truffles). Because Piedmont is also a very important wine producing region in italy, that's why the pairing between a Barolo, since they are both from the same terrior.
Alba truffles are at their best during the winter season, which is also why white truffles are synonymous with winter style hearty dishes.
