A great Italian white. Nose is so dense with waxy fruits, plantains and also some minerals. Really expansive. Also some faint burnt incense. Palate is juicy and bone dry at the same time and there is some plantain and apricot fruit and huge minerals. Long and fresh with terrific acidity. Lovely spice throughout and great purity. — 2 months ago

The 72 mo. Erbaluce, non dosage. Starts very tight. Time and air bring light straw, dried honey, astringency on the palate fading into mineral, talc, white rocks, lemons/limes. Amazingly lithe for a 72 mo. No heaviness.
Great stuff!

Just a hint of effervescence when first opened. It’s light and bright without much acidity, but much more flavorful than Sancerre or Chenin Blanc, and without too much citrus. Slight sweetness, like a honey crisp apple.
We had it with Argentine shrimp cooked in butter and red pepper and it was was heavenly. — 2 months ago

Arneis-like but at 13$ not. Erbaluce, the unpopular kid on the Piedmonte block, but the consumer gets the reward! Pale yellow w green tint, all kinds of waxy white & green fruits on nose, edamame?, and a palate of those fruits with a very thick ground of minerality. Kinda cuts through the middle between high acid & a broader mouthfeel. Could easily pair with all kinds of food- imagining everything from Indian curries to falafel based cuisine. — 3 months ago

Sparkling Erbaluce in Alba from benchmark producer. Learned that outside of Canavese, the name Erbaluce cannot be used. It seems that sometimes the Italians - and Alto Piedmontese (a name we in the US bestowed on a them) let their hyper local regional alliances and squabbles - undermine their global marketability. Some in the older generation and most of new generation seem to get this, but the consortia continue to resist… — 9 months ago
