"Erbaluce di Caluso" Wine

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 14:50:33 GMT

Straw yellow coloured still wine, it has numerous greenish reflexes and brilliant clearness when it is young. Its very fine scent reminds of field flowers, with notes of acacia and hawthorn. The flavour is fresh and dry. The sensation that return to your mouth are supported by a balance nerve, that softens at the end with light almond notes. The noble characteristic of the Erbaluce is in the distinct ability to evolve over time. After three or four years of ageing, this wine shows all of its complexity and structure: extremely interesting mineral and tertiary notes.

Its scents and delicate structure are given more value if accompanied by dishes that are similarly delicate, such as vegetable frittata, frog risotto or canavesana soup, a soup made with cabbage and meat stock. It is a structured wine that can also work with meat and fish fried foods. It is also great at the end of a meal with fresh tomini. The “Festadell’Uva (Grape festival)” is celebrated in Caluso during the month of September.

“Carema” Wine

Two local varieties of the Nebbiolo grape, the Picutener and the Pugnet, the morainic rocks of Carema on the border with Valle d’Aosta. These are the secrets of one of the most noble Piedmont wines, the Carema that from 1967 has obtained the Registered Designation Origin Label. The production of these grapes has developed stubbornly on the slopes of Monte Maletto, between 350 and 700 metres of altitude, thanks to a dry terracing work that required both patience and toil. The Carema vines are characterised by pergolas supported by stone pillars with a truncated cone shape: during the day they accumulate heat and release it throughout the night, giving the vines the best growth conditions.

All vinification, conservation and ageing phases are completed in the production area including the entire municipality of Carema and in the Ivery community of the Pont Saint Martin municipality. The minimum ageing time of the Carema is 24 months, with 12 of them in oak or chestnut tree barrels, with a maximum capacity of 40 hectolitres (in the Riserva version ageing lasts at least 36 months, 12 of them in wood). It is a wine that shows its class and elegance and is deep expression of a single vine landscape. In Carema the wine is celebrated during the month of September with the “Grapes and Wine Festival”.
