What grows here
Caluso
15 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Caluso rises from the morainic hills of the Canavese zone near Turin, where mineral-rich glacial soils dictate the agricultural landscape. This specific terroir is the birthplace of the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG, a white wine produced across 36 municipalities. Caluso hosts 15 overlapping protected denominations, including the broader Canavese DOC. Currently, 5 verified producers operate within the municipality, with 1 open for guided cellar visits. The town's unique topography yields the high acidity and longevity that define the local Erbaluce grape, making this enclave a distinct capital of Piedmontese white wine.
