He released his first vintage in 1987 and helped elevate Erbaluce's profile, contributing to its DOCG recognition in 2010. The Misobolo vineyard is a historic site over 50 years old embracing the hill of San Giorgio at 320 meters—one of Remo's first plantings. Erbaluce is a rare indigenous grape grown only in this tiny Piedmont appellation, documented since the 1600s, its name combining \"light\" and \"herb.\" Traditional pergola training, stainless steel fermentation, lees aging for complexity. Mineral-driven with crisp green apple, lemon acidity, and pronounced minerality from white sandy moraine soils. Perfect aperitif or with seafood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SoilAir [SOI]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45035320246329,"sku":"NYC-SOI-`CECM2022`-101025-2","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Cieck-Erbaluce-di-Caluso-Misobolo-2022-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_5757b3bc.jpg?v=1768517065"},{"product_id":"cieck-erbaluce-di-caluso-san-giorgio-spumante-2021-750ml","title":"Cieck, Erbaluce di Caluso San Giorgio Spumante, 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eRemo Falconieri, a typewriter designer turned sparkling wine dreamer, founded Cieck in 1985 after traveling to France to study production methods.

The San Giorgio Spumante sees traditional bottle fermentation with a minimum 36 months on lees—more than twice the DOCG requirement—developing bread-like complexity while maintaining fresh acidity. The glacial moraine soils of the Canavese region impart distinctive mineral character unavailable elsewhere. An Alpine sparkling wine of genuine distinction for those seeking discovery beyond Champagne and Prosecco.
