Gianluigi Orsolani is
one of very few producers in the northern province of Caluso specializing
in the local variety Erbaluce. Determined to defy declining
production, Francesco Orsolani created the first zone’s metodo classico (Champagne
method) Erbaluce in
1968. This fresh
and very youthful wine
is made from 100% Erbaluce vines
trained “a pergola” (high over head) . First fermentation happens in
stainless-steel, and second in bottle to create its fine pinpoint bubbles, its
yeasty and mature aromas with reminiscent of dried herbs and hints of bread
crust and mint, and its white stone-fruit flavors. Ages for up to 36-months in bottle. It is
perfect as an aperitif,
but amazing also for your meals, particularly with vegetable
cuscus, salads, shellfishes, crab, and lobster.
