CASCINA FORNACE

There is no doubt about it: Sfusobuono would not exist without Enrico Cauda of Cascina Fornace. Enrico put the worm in our heads and gave the project credibility when it was still in its early stages. We can only thank him for that!

Cascina Fornace is the home of Enrico and his brother Emanuele: a place of extreme conviviality (especially on Sundays, when lunch becomes dinner), a place that gives life to truly territorial and full-bodied wines from a very clean agriculture. Enrico is a thoughtful winemaker and an enemy of all intermediate nuances. He is an artisan of wine in a total way, with sip treatments and very little make-up in the cellar. Enrico's desire is as simple as it is fundamental: to put on the market a quality boxed wine, made by hand, with nothing to do with cheapness. And there is another thing of which he is very sure: the time is ripe for this kind of approach. In the cellar he uses only steel and concrete vats, starting with high quality Arneis and Nebbiolo grapes grown on the sandy soils of the highest and steepest Roero.

His grandfather's generation was particularly attached to bulk wine, bought directly from the cellar in demijohns, to which Enrico wants to pay tribute today. Who knows if the country's affectionate elderly will appreciate it?
