The Giant Bench of Caluso is a huge yellow and blue bench dedicated to the symbol of the town, the Nymph Albaluce, from whose tears, according to legend, the Erbaluce wine was born. In fact, it is said that the Nymph frequented these lands and from one of her tears, which fell on a bush, the lush shoot bearing the blond grapes was born. The bench is located in the Crava area, among the vineyards of Cantina Gnavi, a winemaker who desired, promoted and supported the installation of the bench, to help people discover the pergolas and the Canavese viticulture.
