Caluso Spumante Metodo Classico D.O.C.G. Brut
Cuvée Tradizione 1968
Our winemaking process
Production
The year 1968 marks the first sparkling Erbaluce di Caluso ever made in our cellars, while the colour of the label signals its distinctive ageing of at least 60 months. It was in the spring of 1968 that Francesco Orsolani realised his dream of producing the first sparkling Erbaluce di Caluso, and on 29 September 1969, some 18 months later, he presented it to a panel of expert tasters, who confirmed its quality and the need to continue production. Thanks to that experimentation, Erbaluce today holds an important Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita for this style as well.

Bouquet
Aromatic notes
The Cuvée 1968 Black Label stands out for its bright yellow colour with delicate golden highlights, and a very fine, persistent perlage. The aromas are mature, as befits a metodo classico of such lineage, with notes of bread crust and a hint of vanilla, alongside aromatic herbs blended with more mineral sensations.
