2012 Favaro Erbaluce di Caluso Le Chiusure . . . the best yet?
Made from the vineyard right in front of the winery, it is the flagship of the winery. Tre Bicchiere two years in a row, it has now become the star that other Erbaluce makers follow in hopes of reaching the same heights.
In 2012, you can feel the vintage more than in 2011. While 2011 was slightly hot and the flavors muddled, the 2012 is crisp and intense, the aromas of gooseberries and hay jumping from the glass. In the mouth it is zesty and firm and lingers instead of fading away, inviting another sip.
Just arrived on our shores it will be in short supply. So seek it out.
