NATURAL WINES BY CARUSSIN
Carussin is the family of Luigi Garberoglio, Bruna Ferro and their sons Luca and Matteo in San Marzano Oliveto, in Asti, Piedmont. Bruna's grandfather Ferro Maggiore started the farm in 1927 with four hectares. He came from Calosso, and Carussin is dialect for someone from Calosso. The vines sit at 350 to 400 metres on limestone and clay, and the family stopped using chemicals in 1984.
As well as wine they brew beer and raise donkeys, which you will spot on some of the labels. Barbera is the main grape, with some Moscato, and the range goes from easy Asinoi and Completo, including big boxes, to serious Barbera d'Asti like La Tranquilla, from a single vineyard on limestone. Wild yeasts ferment in steel and concrete, and free sulphur stays under 30 mg per litre. Filari Corti means short rows, a joke, as the rows run about 200 metres.
