Passito di Erbaluce di Caluso d.o.c.g. “BOHÉMIEN”

The origins of Caluso Passito date back to Roman times,but over the millennia it became part of the tradition of Canavese families each of which owned a vineyard with some vines of ErbaluceFrom these vines, before harvesting, were collected the most beautiful and scattered bunches that were laid to dry on the walls as fruit for the winter. In these specially ventilated passitaie the bunches remained until March and then were crushed: From this moment began the long process of fermentation and refinement of Caluso Passito that found its maximum expression after long years of aging. Among the great admirers of Caluso Passito o there was, at the end of 800, a great Canavesan: Giuseppe Giacosa, for all Pin. Playwright and librettist of Puccinii, author of the plots of La Bohème, Tosca and Madama Butterfly loved his vineyards and his wine and recommended that it was good value to welcome guests with an excellent glass of Caluso Passito. This Limited Edition of the Passito Riserva Bohèmien 2009 is dedicated to him.
