Santa CleliaAn organic farm in the Rossana region in the open countryside on the Caluso-Mazzè road. A dirt track leads you to this small producer whose vineyards are just a stone’s throw from the farmhouse where Sergio and Gabriella will offer you a friendly welcome and lay on a tasting of their produce. Wines are produced mainly with the erbaluce grape: they include a brut, Bolle Sabaude, and metodo classico, Rigore, more complex and aged for longer. The Erbaluce itself comes in three versions: YPA, a thirst-quenching easy-drinker, Essenthia, unfiltered and more complex and the Rapa Raira selection. The Rosso Canaveses are produced with assemblages of barbera and freisa, while Palere is a red aged three years in tonneaux and also available in an interesting rosé version. Dus, finally, is a passito made with select grapes raisined on straw mats for four months. The cellar is open for visits every morning and afternoon.
