Erbaluce di Caluso Spumante “Incanto” Magnum 2016 Crosio
The Erbaluce di Caluso Spumante “Incanto” from Cantine Crosio represents the purest and most refined expression of the native Erbaluce grape of Canavese. The vineyards, located at 320-340 meters above sea level and trained in the traditional Canavese pergola system, grow on morainic soils rich in gravel and sand, which impart verticality and salinity to the wine. Harvesting is done entirely by hand in small crates, ensuring perfect grape selection.
Vinification is carried out with meticulous attention to detail: whole clusters undergo cryomaceration for about seven days at 0°C, followed by gentle pressing and must clarification. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 15°C, followed by about nine months of aging on its lees with frequent batonnage to enhance complexity and roundness. Secondary fermentation in bottle, according to the traditional Classic Method, is followed by 36-40 months of aging on the lees before disgorgement and topping up with the same wine, preserving integrity and balance.
The result is an exceptionally fine sparkling wine: its pale glossy yellow color and persistent, delicate perlage announce a refined aromatic profile, featuring green apple, ripe white fruits, and fresh fern, enriched by subtle almond notes on the finish. On the palate, “Incanto” delights with vertical freshness, supported by salinity and amplitude, and a persistence that encourages another sip.
A versatile and impressive Classic Method sparkling, it pairs perfectly with oysters, raw fish tartare, white meat terrines, shellfish pasta, or delicate risottos, and even more structured dishes like swordfish or baked fish parcels. It is also surprisingly suitable for creative pairings, such as gourmet white pizzas, where the wine’s freshness and minerality meet delicate flavors.
The Erbaluce di Caluso Spumante “Incanto” is a wine that tells the story of territory, history, and tradition, crafted with careful winemaking that respects the character of the grape. Every bottle invites you to discover Canavese through its most elegant sparkling expression, combining visual beauty, delicate aromas, and harmonious structure in an unforgettable sip.
