Erbaluce, native to the alpine hills of Northern Piedmont, is known for its bright acidity, saline minerality, and subtle herbal complexity—qualities that Chiussuma brings out beautifully in their “Pajarin” bottling. Grown on glacial moraine soils and farmed organically, the 2022 vintage was fermented with native yeasts and aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness and transparency.

The wine shows notes of green apple, lemon zest, mountain herbs, and crushed stone, with a mouthwatering, almost electric edge. There’s a waxy, textural mid-palate that makes it more than just crisp—it’s layered, food-friendly, and quietly age-worthy.

Pajarin 2022 is a perfect match for alpine cheeses, trout, risotto, or simply those who love whites with verve and place. A fantastic bottle for fans of Etna Bianco, Chablis, or Savoie whites looking to explore Italy’s cooler, less-traveled corners.

More about Chiussuma

In 2016, Matteo Ravera Chion and his wife Alessandra created Chiussuma on the mountain terraces of Carema, Piedmont's most vertiginous sub-region. They restored ancient wooden pergola trellises and now coax elegant Nebbiolo from vines anchored by stone pillars and tended by three friendly donkeys. The wines are small in volume, enormous in character—proof that heroic viticulture still exists.
