This dry sparkler is made 100% from Erbaluce grapes from Canavese-Caluso northeast of Turin. It’s full bodied with high acidity, and has a smoky, saline minerality with a floral undercurrent. Over time it softens up with hints of yeast, almond, and apple. Was tasty with roasted chicken with maple rosemary glaze. Has a pleasant, persistent finish. — 6 days ago

Light, crisp, strong grapefruit flavor. Paired better with slightly sweetly seasoned food to balance out the bitterness. — 3 years ago

So. Damn. (Elegantly). Crushable. Rangpur lime, a petrol-y olive oil, memories of a summer fruit pie, a sprinkle of tarragon, crisp mineral-y tang that fades into a beautiful calcium carbonate lime zest finish and a hit of aromatic joint…oh, wait… — 4 years ago

Opened for mom with Elissa’s grandma’s chicken. Very smooth and drinkable. Dark, lingering citrus. Not bright, but more like grilled lemon. Very interesting and enjoyable. Good with food and alone. May have bought at House of Gluntz. — 4 days ago

Pop and pour, and this was excellent; wish I had bought a lot more. On the nose: soft honey, lemon lime, soft vanilla: transparent oak influence?, but nevertheless charming. On the palate: good acidity, wet stone, oily lime, nice finish. Disappearing quickly. — 6 years ago

Pale straw lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruit with floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peaches and lemon with notes of herb floral spice. Good acidity, balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and mineral character. — 2 months ago

Carema erbaluce di caluso! A perfectly ripe bartlett/williams pear comes to mind on the first sips. Acidity is present but not overtly so. Length is medium & whole package is quite meticulous! — 5 months ago

2013 holding on beautifully. Sneaky but delicious oxidation round out the nicely balanced acidity. Applause. — 2 years ago

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… — 3 years ago

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. — 5 years ago

This quite remarkable. Erbaluce is not a very noble variety, but this wine might have you think otherwise. Perfumed lemon oil, mint with a waxy or oily texture. Med to light bodied with a surprising persistence. This is like sunlight in the glass. — 6 years ago
