DIAMONDS

(NOT ONLY)

KITCHEN

Every autumn “the same magic” repeats itself, especially

on a sunny day: an explosion of yellows, oranges, and

browns that burn the undulating hills following the

Tanaro River and cast light onto a maze of narrow

cobblestone streets crowded with people, sounds,

languages. Small talk with a glass of Barolo or

Barbaresco and hazelnut desserts fill the air. And

above all, the pungent, earthy, and gaseous fragrance

of the most precious and seductive resource of this

land–the white truffle
