Among the most celebrated expressions of its category, this Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG showcases exceptional craftsmanship. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile.

The fruit is sourced from vineyards from two parcels from Chavot village, with over 30 years old vines: Les Chemins d’Epernay et les Rouges Maisons.
