Caluso is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Italian region Piedmont, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) northeast of Turin.
Caluso borders the following municipalities: San Giorgio Canavese, Candia Canavese, Barone Canavese, Mazzè, Foglizzo, Montanaro, and Chivasso.
The peculiar geographical position and the particular climate of the area favor the production of white wines, most notably the "Erbaluce di Caluso" and the "Caluso Passito".
