Description

Luigi Ferrando Erbaluce di Caluso Spumante Metodo Classico Pas Dose 2018A unique sparkling wine made from Erbaluce and aged in bottle for 18 to 36 months, all in the Champagne tradition. The soil underlying the Erbaluce vineyards was formed millions of years ago during the ice age and is essentially a glacial moraine of stone and silt.

Named for the Ashokan Reservoir

For the first time in 2021

flanked on three of its four borders by grand crus

with twice daily pump-overs

it is breezy but appropriately Rhône-y

each shipment will focus on one wine region in particular

even at this youthful stage during which Viognier’s primary notes often tend to dominate a wine

Handpicked at peak maturity

Pale in hue

It is perhaps a bit reticent at first and somewhat racy initially on the palate but it fleshes out nicely with some aeration and becomes more serious and weighty with about 20 to 30 minutes of breathing

buttressed by a lurking sense of power

and a cupboard’s worth of spices
