Ilaria Salvetti

Ilaria Salvetti

Ilaria Salvetti farms four organic-certified hectares at Caluso, in the Erbaluce country north of Turin. Ilaria works with her father Carlo and her husband Daniele, carrying on the winemaking of her grandfather Talin, and the estate grows and vinifies its own Erbaluce and Riesling Renano from vine to bottle. The vines sit on the moraine hill among woods, looking over Lake Candia, trained on espaliers in Guyot and pruned by the Simonit method. The range is short and white: Eolga, Tildega, the skin-fermented Eutopia and Gian Pero, a metodo classico and the passito Talin, named for the grandfather. Caluso lies in the Canavese, on the glacial hills of the Ivrea moraine, and gives its name to the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG.
