Primavite
By Cantine Crosio, Canavese, Piemonte, Italy
Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG named for the first wine Roberto Crosio made, and presented as a faithful expression of the variety.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with light moss-green streaks. Sage, wild herbs and yellow flowers, with mineral notes and hints of hydrocarbons emerging with age. Fresh and savoury on the palate, with a finish of subtle almond.
Pairs well with
Fish stews, marinated sardines and mixed fried fish, or hot vegetable starters, vegetarian flans and fish souffle. Also raw Piedmontese fassona beef, risottos, meatballs and white-meat sausages.
