{"product_id":"bruno-giacometto-erbaluce-di-caluso-brut-2013","title":"Bruno Giacometto, Erbaluce di Caluso Brut, 2013","description":"Traditional-method bubbles from Piedmont, made from a grape most people have never tasted, and with a 2013 vintage on the label. That's a rare combination. The grape is Erbaluce, a thick-skinned, high-acid white native to northern Piedmont, and it carries Piedmont's first official white-wine appellation: Erbaluce di Caluso became a DOC in 1967 and was raised to DOCG in 2010. It grows in the Canavese, a subalpine zone centred on the town of Caluso, where glaciers left behind morainic soils rich in mineral salts. Those soils give the wines their striking acidity and savoury, salty edge, which is just what you want in a sparkler. Bruno Giacometto's family has had ties to Caluso for centuries, and he trains his Erbaluce vines on traditional pergolas. The DOCG requires at least 18 months on the lees, and a vintage-dated bottling like this is a good chance to see what Erbaluce bubbles become with time. If you like serious sparkling wine but don't need a famous name on the label, this is well worth trying.","brand":"Coeur Wines (T.
