Favaro "Le Chiusure"
History of the Estate:
The tiny family vineyard of "Le Chiusure" is tended to solely by Benito Favaro and his son Camillo. They specialize in the local grape Erbaluce, which is indigenous to their mountain town of Piverone. The entire estate is only about 30 acres. The Favaro family has built their winery on the passion for local history, and wanting to produce a really outstanding, small-production wine. It is precisely because Erbaluce is produced in such limited quantities, and is so rarely found in the United States that it was important to add this up and coming producer to the portfolio. In addition to continuing to preserve another small autochthonous grape variety, another interesting, passionate winemaker/s story is being heard.
