Roberto Crosio Erbaluce di Caluso 2022 750ml
Product Details
This wine is bright and lively with notes of sage, wild herbs, and yellow flowers, with penetrating mineral undertones. Its freshness and flavor profile are intriguing and elegant, showing impressive complexity and a long finish.
Cantine Crosio’s vineyards are located northeast of Turin and just north of Caluso, on the morainic hill that makes up the Amphitheater of the Serra di Ivrea, boasting ideal positions for viticulture.
Crafting wines of tipicity and terroir goes without saying in a place like this. Geologically formed by the retreat of the ancient glaciers that covered this corner of Piedmont, this area is characterized by stony soils with a high percentage of granite and other siliceous minerals. The vine that thrives here is Erbaluce, which mainly finds its home around Caluso and Ivrea. This high-acid, white variety tends to be low in alcohol – a quality that has become increasingly attractive in recent years.
For Roberto Crosio, producing wine is a cultural act in that he endeavors to maintain and respect the tradition of Caluso by looking to the past to inform how he works in the vineyards and cellar in the present. Although he eschews conventional viticulture and winemaking, Crosio is somewhat skeptical of the bureaucracy surrounding organic farming. However, Roberto is very attuned to his vines and lets them guide him as to how and when to intervene.
