In the upper Samoggia valley that fortunate combination of factors that determine the birth of the TRUFFLE takes place, and so between woods and clean air the town of SAVIGNO is considered the “capital“ of the prized white truffle of the Bolognese Hills.
This truffle is of the finest and most aromatic quality and ripens between September and December in those lush woods, so in November, every year Savigno and its surroundings come alive with the National Festival of Fine White Truffles.
Savigno is part of the National Association of Truffle Cities such as Alba, Acqualagna, and Norcia.
Every year, in autumn, a very important festival is held in Savigno which allows many visitors to learn about and savor the magic of this precious tuber.
