Luigi Taglienti, born in 1979, is a Ligurian chef who built his career alongside great masters and in international kitchens. After starting out with Ezio Santin and training between Italy and France, he earned his first Michelin star in 2007 at the restaurant Delle Antiche Contrade in Cuneo. A second star followed at Trussardi alla Scala in Milan (2012–2014), and a third at Lume, the restaurant he founded in 2016.
In 2022, he opened “Io Luigi Taglienti” in Piacenza, a personal project he led until 2025.
His award-winning and distinctive cuisine blends classical technique, intuition, and contemporary sensitivity, shaped by influences from Italian, French, and international culinary schools. Tradition, modernity, and creativity come together in dishes designed to engage a broad and curious audience.
Cooking Shows offer an immersive fine-dining experience, where the chef prepares the dish live on stage, blending technique and inspiration. Alta Langa accompanies the entire journey with elegance, culminating in the tasting, enhanced—upon request—with White Alba Truffle and exclusive gifts.
The experience includes:
- The dish prepared by the chef
- A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
- S.Bernardo water
- A 100g mini panettone by Galup
- Tartufo Regale, an exclusive handcrafted praline created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati, faithfully replicating the shape and color of the famous Alba truffle
The experience lasts approximately one and a half hours. To ensure quality and organization, menu changes are not available in case of allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary needs.
The Alba White Truffle is not included and, for those who wish, will be charged separately according to the daily quotation of the Truffle Market Exchange.
Children who wish to participate in the tasting must have a ticket. If they are present in the room without taking part in the tasting, this must be communicated via email to info@fieradeltartufo.org within 72 hours of the event, so that seating next to their parents can be arranged.
The event is simultaneously translated into English.
The ticket purchased online includes access to the World Market of the White Alba Truffle and to the MUDET – The Alba Truffle Museum.
