Torrazza Erbaluce di Caluso 2020
Rich with equal parts honey and lemon. I love the style of Northern Italy and this could be anything from Piedmont to Alto Adige. Golden glow, sweet perfumes, viscous foundation. Aromas of honey lemon almond marzipan, a bed of flowers, smoke and hint of mint. Very worth my while. — 2 years ago

Curticella Dosaggio Zero Erbaluce
The 72 mo. Erbaluce, non dosage. Starts very tight. Time and air bring light straw, dried honey, astringency on the palate fading into mineral, talc, white rocks, lemons/limes. Amazingly lithe for a 72 mo. No heaviness.
Great stuff!

Erbaluce di Caluso 2016
This has everything I love about Erbaluce. Great color and extraction, very golden and lightly honeyed. The herbal finish really lingers with fresh thyme and hints of fennel. Very vibrant and rich. — 2 years ago

San Giorgio Spumante Erbaluce di Caluso
Sparkling Erbaluce in Alba from benchmark producer. Learned that outside of Canavese, the name Erbaluce cannot be used. It seems that sometimes the Italians - and Alto Piedmontese (a name we in the US bestowed on a them) let their hyper local regional alliances and squabbles - undermine their global marketability. Some in the older generation and most of new generation seem to get this, but the consortia continue to resist… — 5 months ago

Gino Erbaluce 2018
Crazy orange color. Nose mostly closed with some dried fruit and dried floral notes. Reminiscent of white Rioja (e.g. R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia, Gravonia) by its waxy dried apricot notes and overall dried fruit aspect - but much more fruity and a very good food wine. Very much easier than the Tondonia; I like but others may not. Too bad. — 2 years ago

Stone fruits & white flowers on the nose, a bit of pear, nice waxiness, lemon curd.
Lemon peel, full in the mouth, refreshing.
After some airing, a mineral bonanza.
Goes well with a treat from further south
Spaghetti ala vongole w chili.
Yum.
Thanks @FassSelections
