I vini di Benito Favaro | Uglygrapes

Benito Favaro

Intense straw yellow with golden hues. Flowers, herbs, fruit, spices, nuts. Fresh, savory, balanced, persistent.  

13 Mesi is a non-passito white wine with great longevity. It is made from Erbaluce grapes grown in the Cavana vineyard at an altitude of 400 meters on moraine rock soils. Cultivation is organic and environmentally conscious, the harvest is done manually and only the best bunches are selected softly pressed undergo a 30-hour cryomaceration , the 12-month aging takes place in barriques.
The name Erbaluce originates from a legend, telling that the fairy Albaluce blessed the inhabitants of Caluso by giving them Erbaluce. It is a variety that was already known in the 17th century and was called Albaluce because of the pale yellow-green color reminiscent of the color of light when the sun rises. It is also called in Piedmontese dialect "Bian Roustì " and "Uva Rustìa," referring to the amber pink color of the berries when ripe, which makes them look roasted. Erbaluce is characterized by a medium-sized cluster with an elongated, cylindrical shape, medium-large round berries and thin skin. It is a variety with very low and irregular productivity due to susceptibility to common vine diseases and low fertility. It is grown by maintaining a thick layer of leaves to protect the clusters from hail, which can easily occur in areas of Piedmont where Erbaluce grows.
