Caluso Passito Doc

  • A Passito made from grapes of Erbaluce (the moraine soil is rich in different elements). Grapes are harvested at the end of September and laid in small wooden cases where clusters are close to each another. At the beginning of March, after a drying period of about five months, grapes undergo a careful selection and a slow pressing process. The resulting must is fermented in barriques. Aging lasts four years, at least two of which in barriques.
