Erbaluce di Caluso “Scelte di Vite” 2021 Cantina 366
The Erbaluce di Caluso “Scelte di Vite” 2021 by Cantina 366 exemplifies one of the finest expressions of the native Erbaluce grape, carefully cultivated in Agliè, near Turin, using the traditional pergola training system. Harvesting occurs in the final decade of September, with meticulous handpicking of the ripest grapes to ensure purity of aroma and natural freshness. Vinification is carried out with gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, preserving the floral fragrance and mineral notes characteristic of the Canavese terroir.
Visually, the wine is pale straw with greenish highlights, bright and inviting. The nose reveals delicate notes of wisteria, field flowers, and a pleasant grapefruit nuance. On the palate, the attack is fresh, supported by marked acidity enhancing drinkability; the body is well-balanced, with white-fleshed fruit flavors complemented by a long and persistent finish. The 2021 “Scelte di Vite” Erbaluce is versatile, pairing beautifully with appetizers and traditional Canavese cheeses, as well as grilled fish, shellfish, and seafood dishes, served ideally at 8–10 °C.
This bottle celebrates the legend of Erbaluce: “from an impossible love was born Albaluce, a wondrous and sad nymph, goddess of perfection, whose sweet tears for men gave the earth a golden fruit: Erbaluce.” A wine that combines elegance, freshness, and minerality, perfect for those seeking a Piedmontese white that delights from the very first sip.
