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.

Az. Agr. Favaro Benito ~ Caluso
(sustainably farmed)
The small family-run Benito Favaro estate was established in 1992.
"My father, Benito, as well as being the one who had the intuition 15 years ago that this adventure was worth embarking upon, still looks after the vineyards and is the real heart and soul of our operations. My brother Nicola helps him in the highly complex and fundamental work of tending the vines. I do my best in the cellar, steering our wines in what we are convinced is the right direction. Mama Rosanna, like all mothers, does a bit of everything, always with great enthusiasm. She's our jack-of-all-trades, without whom the squaring of the circle would be missing. My sister Elena, with her partner Claudio, cultivate all the vineyards planted with red grapes that are then vinified in our cellar. It may seem like a fairytale existence, but it is really just the simple story of a family who produces wine and firmly believes in what they do, following sound and healthy principles. Our vineyards are located in Piverone on a hill of glacial origins, the true home of our vines." Camillo Favaro
