If Crippa were a painter, vegetables would be his palate and the vegetable garden, the landscape of the inmost, surprising heart that demands loyalty. Every day the landscape would be interpreted differently, depending on the freshest offering of the surrounding nature.
«The vegetable element is now one of the cornerstones of my cuisine and it means the nuances of my dishes change from day to day».
Located a few kilometres from Alba, in the land of the Monsordo Bernardina Estate, belonging to the Ceretto family, the Piazza Duomo vegetable garden includes a greenhouse and a plot, where vegetables, herbs, and flowers that chef Enrico Crippa personally collects every morning are grown organically and biodynamically.

In addition to common vegetables, always selected from special, ancient varieties, about 400 varieties of plant species are cultivated, with two constants: research and respect. After all, Crippa’s chromatic cuisine is the result of meticulous attention to the raw materials, consisting of rare and precious ingredients, and to the rhythms of production and harvest, influenced by daily changes in the weather. That's why you could say that the Piazza Duomo menu changes in real time.
