Erbaluce di Caluso

Wine · PDO · 36 municipalities

Unlike neighboring Piedmontese denominations that permit blending, Erbaluce di Caluso mandates a strict 100% Erbaluce grape composition across its 36 permitted municipalities, which include Agliè and Azeglio. Recognized since 1973, this DOCG yields a dry, straw-yellow wine with a minimum alcohol content of 11.0% vol and a maximum yield of 11.0 t/ha. What distinctly separates this appellation is its demanding range of styles; beyond the fresh, dry base, it includes a metodo classico spumante and a concentrated passito style requiring at least 36 months of aging, rising to 48 months for the riserva.
