The hillside vineyards of Caluso, right on the border between Piemonte and Valle d’Aosta, seem to defy gravity, perilously clinging to terraces built during Roman times. It’s a stunning vista you almost have to see to believe. This is the home to the local Erbaluce grape- a white cultivar that exudes all the alpine freshness you could ask for, but with a pithy, exuberant presence and personality all its own. What a fabulous wine for all the wonderful cheeses they produce out there in them snow-capped mountains. It’s also great on its own. One of the best deals we’ve seen in a while!
