Red Wines in Bag in Box

A SIP OF HOME
The idea of ​​creating an online platform on which you can conveniently purchase wine in a bag in box was born by observing the habits of our fathers' generation. The generation of those who on Saturday morning loaded the demijohn into the trunk of the car and together with a friend of the gang set off to visit a cellar not far from the city to stock up on useful liquids to warm up the winter and celebrate summer. The question of how to transport bulk wine is quickly answered if you are within walking distance of the winery or if you have a day to dedicate to the mission. Receiving bulk wine at home for the new generations, who for study reasons are forced to live in two-room apartments without a balcony or cellar is certainly a great convenience, right? But returning to our parents' trips in search of bulk, it is impossible not to think of the lunar calendars, of the meticulous calculations on when to bottle to keep the contents still or when to do so to have it sparkling. Well washed bottles, brand new corks, a tablet in the demijohn and everything was ready. Not a small ritual that we young people no longer have the energy to do!

RED BOXED WINES EVERYDAY
The red wine to drink every day during meals must have few, but very important characteristics:

• alcohol content not too high, like Ciliegiolo, otherwise after lunch the nap lasts longer than it should, but above all the heat of the alcohol could take on a dominant value in the sip and tire the palate rather than refresh it.
• freshness, we are not talking about temperature obviously, but about that pleasant sensation that a wine 'that makes you salivate' gives you, dries your mouth well after swallowing and makes you want a new tap, like the Grignolino or the Barbera ‘Asinoi’ di Carussin.
• full and gastronomic sip, a tactile sensation not to be confused with the banal 'softness' perhaps due to a prolonged passage in wood. Rather, we are talking about the ability to adapt well to the table and the kitchen, as for the Montepulciano from Cirelli or the blend of Cabernet and Sangiovese from Fattoria Pomona.

CRAFT BOXED RED WINE
No, finding natural wine in bag in box is not impossible: in 2020 following the pandemic emergency, this container literally exploded, recording record numbers and soon becoming the trend - in terms of packaging in the wine world - most trend of 2021, together with canned wine. Many small producers found themselves with tubs full of unsold wine and found a not bad answer in this cheaper, more familiar and home-made format. Finding bulk wine without added or minimal sulphites is easy because the bag inside the carton keeps the quality of the contents intact in the absence of oxygen and allows the producer to intervene as little as possible on a technological level. Such as the red wine from Cascina Fornace made mostly from Nebbiolo grapes with a small addition of Barbera.

On Sfusobuono you can also find lots of organic wine in bag in box with certification on the label to guarantee sustainable management in the vineyard which eliminates the use of any type of chemical and synthetic product; discover, for example, Nebbiolo from Langhe at competitive prices and be inspired by the food pairings, offers and advice in the technical sheet.
