We love finding rare wines and sharing them with our members. The winery, more well known for their Nebbiolo called Boca, north of Piemonte, Italy near Lake Orta and Maggiore, also makes other every day wines from ancient local vines. One of these (Vino Bianko) is Erbaluce, normally a crisp white aged in stainless steel from Northern Piemonte and more specifically collocated with the Caluso town. Le Piane winery is not inside of this designated area and therefore they can only call their Erbaluce, Vino Bianco. Here are a few things that make this wine truly unique:
– Coming from volcanic soils
– 100 year old vines
– The wine is made with no technology leading the winemakers to learn from the past. For this reason, the grapes are pressed softly in a basket press, with whole cluster fermentation in large oak and concrete.
– This wine is made with extremely low sulfite content.
