A Piedmont town opens its season today. The star is brown, lumpy and the size of a walnut.
Alba opens today
The 96th International Alba White Truffle Fair runs every weekend from October 10 to December 6, with a truffle market each Saturday and Sunday.
Found, never farmed
The white truffle grows among tree roots in the Langhe. Hunters and their dogs find it. UNESCO recognized Italian truffle hunting in 2021.
A brown place
Fog, vines, bark, wet earth. In Alba in October, brown is the color of the thing people cross the world for.
Three browns, no black
Woven leather, a chestnut belt, a brown-and-cream check. Brown with texture reads rich, never dull.
From Maria's edit
Treat brown the way Alba does this weekend.
