## Summary

Caluso Passito DOCG from dried Erbaluce, aged 36 months in wood; the name is the old Canavese name for the river Orco.

## Tasting notes

Golden with fine coppery veins. Very ripe fruit such as dried apricots and dates, plus ripe hay and toasted hazelnut. A rich, glycerous palate held up by freshness and minerality, long and straight.

## Food pairings

Butter torcetti and paste di meliga, the classic Canavese pairing. Also hazelnut cake, soft amaretti, almond pastries and stuffed peaches.
