Many of these varieties are so climate specific that they cannot be transplanted to another region, they are better able to cope with local microclimates and express terroir, resulting in wines with distinctive and unique aromas. Nothing, however, is perfect and some interesting Italian vines are trivially underrated due to historical reasons, often being left in the shadows of more famous ones.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, in the last two decades, this unique abundance is being embraced by growers and producers across the country as they look to revive forgotten indigenous grape varieties and capitalize on the exciting possibilities they offer.

The epicenter of the variety\u2019s cultivation is found around the Canavese area, on the Ivrean Basin and on the hills that surround Lake Viverone. The DOCs in which this variety is used are the Colline Vovaresi, Coste della Sesia, and the famous Erbaluce di Caluso.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Early records of the Erbaluce grape date back to 1606, when it was mentioned in Giovanni Battista Croce\u2019s book about the excellence and diversity of Piedmontese wines. Its origins are disputed. Arneis and Greco have both been mooted as related varieties. Recently, some ampelographers place its cradle in the lower Monferrato, while other authors suggest that derives from the area where it is widely cultivated today. But it could also come from much further, as recent genetic analyses have confirmed the kinship with the Greco grape cultivated in Campania.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The berry is white, spherical, of average size with amber colored skin. Its compact bunch is a medium elongated conical shape, oftentimes winged and it has a five-lobed leaf of light green color. The Erbaluce vine has a very high vigor production, but it is not very steady, hence being geographically more limited than many other varieties. The grape gives a straw-colored wine, with high fixed acidity, that is suitable for the production of still, dry sparkling and Passito wines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Excellent Erbaluce wines are produced by\u00a0<strong>Favaro Winery<\/strong>\u00a0in Piverone.\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Erbaluce di Caluso Riserva<\/strong>\u00a02016 is characterized by an elegant aromatic and gustatory profile, presenting itself to the eye with a bright straw-yellow color marked by golden reflections.
