The Story
A loving tribute in a glass. Cascina Ca' Rossa is one of Roero's organic standard-bearers, run by the Ferrio family in Canale d'Alba, and 'Funsu' is the Piemontese dialect nickname of Alfonso Ferrio, the farmer who started it all. The wine is 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from estate vineyards in Canale and Santo Stefano Roero, with a typical second-week-of-October harvest. Expect classic Nebbiolo perfume - violet and rose, red cherry, a whisper of tar - framed by light, elegant tannins. This is Nebbiolo in approachable, gulpable form: a great entry point to the variety without sacrificing pedigree.
