Freshness and elegance. These two words are enough to describe the Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG Anima, proposed here by Azienda Agricola La Masera. Erbaluce is a native Canavese vine, cultivated for centuries in this area. Its compact bunches and thick skin give fresh, mineral wines of great finesse. This is also due to an ideal terroir, rich in sandy and calcareous soils, where the cool and ventilated climate favours the slow ripening of the grapes. The beneficial temperature fluctuations between day and night accentuate the minerality of the wine, giving it a distinct freshness and unmistakable personality. Anima is the result of rigorous and respectful processing of the grapes. The bunches, carefully selected in the vineyard, are harvested by hand and delivered to the winery in crates. Fermentation takes place at low temperature in stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and primary aromas of the grape variety. This is followed by an ageing period of 6 months on fine lees, which gives Anima complexity and harmony. Brilliant straw yellow in colour, with greenish highlights, the nose reveals a delicate and fragrant bouquet. Hints of green apple, exotic fruit, wild flowers and aromatic herbs. In the mouth, however, Anima reveals itself to be above all savoury, fresh and pleasantly lively, with a lively acidity that balances the softness and gives harmony to the sip. The structure is good, the persistence long, with a slight almondy hint on the finish that invites another sip. Excellent as an aperitif, thanks to its freshness and inviting taste, it goes well with delicate hors d'oeuvres, fish dishes, shellfish and vegetables. Also excellent with fresh cheeses and light first courses.
La Masera: Winegrowers by passion, among the hills of Canavese. This can be read on the home page of the company website of this beautiful Piedmontese winery. We are located in the heart of the Canavese, among the picturesque hills of the Ivrea Morainic Amphitheatre. The company was born in 2005, from the passion and friendship of Alessandro, Gian Carlo, Davide, Sergio and Marco. A shared dream of reviving the production of Erbaluce Passito, a historic wine inextricably linked to this territory. The choice of the name 'La Masera' encapsulates the essence of the company: a strong bond with the land and respect for its traditions. 'Masere', in fact, is the local term for the large dry-stone walls delimiting the fields, just like the one supporting the first vineyard purchased by the partners to start their Erbaluce production. Today the company can count on approximately 5.5 hectares of vineyards, located between the municipalities of Settimo Rottaro and Piverone, where Erbaluce finds its ideal terroir, expressing its unique characteristics at its best. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 350 and 500 metres above sea level. Here they enjoy a cool, breezy climate, with significant temperature swings between day and night, factors that contribute to the grapes' high acidity and extraordinary aromatic richness. La Masera boasts a production of around 27,000 bottles per year, divided between no less than 12 different types. These include Erbaluce Passito, the flagship wine of the company, produced in limited quantities and with very low yields to ensure maximum concentration.
