If any country can teach us about life’s small pleasures – such as enjoying a delicious and characterful daily drinker – it’s Italy!
FUSO’s our project to search for and bottle natural wines from farmers we know here in Italy. We work with them choosing specific vineyards and are present for fermentation, élevage, sample tasting, and eventual bottling. A part of our team lives full-time in Italy, so we’re in a unique position to be close to the production side.
These are great introductions to natural wines, and you’ll find them chilling in our fridges at home.
A couple more details of what FUSO is all about:
• Terroir wines where grape variety and soil are the stars.
• Made by farmers (not tank-farms).
• Certified Organic (or practicing organic wineries in conversion).
• Native yeasts fermentations.
• Unfiltered or lightly filtered.
• Low sulphur (45 mg/l or less of added SO2).
• Delicious with alcohol levels between 12% – 13%.
