2022 Bruno Giacometto Erbaluce di Caluso

This naturally vinified white wine is produced exclusively from Erbaluce grapes grown in Caluso, within the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG appellation in Piedmont, Italy. The grapes thrive in morainic, mineral-rich soils that impart distinctive terroir characteristics. Its production emphasizes minimal intervention: natural yeasts and minimal sulfur additions are used alongside techniques such as pre‐cryomaceration, pneumatic pressing with a brief skin contact, and spontaneous fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks, with occasional batonnage. These precise winemaking practices, as championed by producers like Bruno Giacometto, ensure that the unique vineyard and regional attributes of this indigenous variety are authentically expressed.
