Bollengo

This Piedmontese enclave of just over two thousand inhabitants in the metropolitan area of Turin harbors a microclimate perfect for viticulture. Here, Bollengo's morainic hills nourish the native Erbaluce grape, yielding the crisp, golden Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, a prestigious white wine shared across a restricted zone of just 36 municipalities. The same mineral-rich soils support the broader Canavese DOC, contributing to the 15 protected denominations overlapping this specific territory. Alpine breezes sweeping across these slopes create a unique pocket where white wines achieve exceptional acidity and aromatic complexity.
