Staff Pick Notes

Impeccably fresh and yet completely poised, this hard to come by varietal Erbaluce by Favaro is not to be missed if you love grapes like Grüner Veltiner, Albariño or Chenin Blanc. Hailing from the small appellation of Caluso in Piedmont about an hour and a half west of Milan, Erbaluce wines are small treasures when you can find them here in the States. Aromas of white orchard fruit, almond, and mineral blossom. On the palate the elevated acidity is in lockstep with an almost plush texture making for a formidable (and highly pleasurable) drinking experience. Pair with swordfish, scallops, pork loin or drink by itself while you live your best life.
