"Fiordighiaccio" Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG 2022

The hills of Canavese, in Piedmont, offer an evocative setting, divided as they are between vineyards, woods and medieval villages. It is in this unique setting that Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG is born, a white wine with a strong and unmistakable character. Here the climate is characterised by cold winters and hot summers, with good temperature ranges. These conditions allow the Erbaluce grapes to reach perfect ripeness. The vineyards are also rooted in sandy and pebbly soils of ancient morainic origin, with good exposures that allow the grapes to absorb the sun's heat. A versatile wine, the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG proposed here by the Cantina Produttori is called Fiordighiaccio and is one of the denomination's most representative labels. The curious name refers to the carbonic snow used to cool the grapes during the first stages of vinification. Fiordighiaccio, in fact, comes from a selection of the best Erbaluce di Caluso grapes, subjected to a process of cryomaceration before pressing. This is another reason why it immediately reveals itself to be a very pleasant and mineral white wine. On the nose, in particular, it amazes for the richness of its bouquet, with notes of fresh fruit and flowers. In the mouth, it is soft, fresh and well balanced. Due to its intensity of aromas and pleasantness, this pure Erbaluce is perfect both as an aperitif and with fish dishes.
