2025 Luigi Ferrando, Erbaluce di Caluso

The Ferrando family has operated in the Canavese region of Piedmont since 1900, with current generations maintaining their long-standing commitment to preserving the area's indigenous viticultural traditions. Their vineyards are situated on glacial moraine soils, a rugged landscape of stone and silt that provides the unique environment necessary for their vines. This wine is made from the Erbaluce grape, delivering clear notes of green apple, fresh pear, and a distinct, flinty minerality with a focused, linear structure. The 2025 growing season provided consistent conditions that allowed the fruit to maintain its signature high acidity and vibrant tension. This is a balanced, precise wine that serves as an excellent entry point into the distinctive character of these alpine foothills.
