{"title":"Brand: Cascina Ca' Rossa","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you look at a map of Piedmont’s most famous vineyards, a very clear dividing line emerges: the Tanaro River. On the southern side sit the legendary appellations of Barolo and Barbaresco, where dense clay and limestone soils produce famously muscular, tannic Nebbiolo that often demands years or even decades in the cellar to become approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you cross the river to the north, you enter Roero. Here, the earth changes dramatically. The soils are predominantly composed of sand from an ancient seabed, and when you plant vines in sand, the rules completely change.\u003cbr\u003eIn the Roero, Nebbiolo behaves with an almost entirely different personality. The grape's famously aggressive tannins are naturally softened by the sandy terrain, resulting in wines defined by their sheer drinkability. They show those soaring Nebbiolo aromatics—crushed rose petals, wild violets, and bright, crunchy cherries—right away, offering immediate joy and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the exact magic captured by the Ferrio family at their certified-organic estate, Cascina Ca' Rossa. The family’s roots in these sandy hills run deep. In the 1960s, grandfather Alfonso (affectionately known as \"Funsu\") started the farm, originally selling his fruit by weight. His son Angelo eventually took the reins, stubbornly pushing the estate to bottle its own high-quality wine. Today, Angelo works side-by-side with his own son, Stefano, representing a beautiful multi-generational evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cascina-ca-rossa-barbera-d-alba-ansem-2023-750ml","title":"Cascina Ca' Rossa Barbera d'Alba Ansem 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eCascina Ca' Rossa is a Ferrio family estate in Canale, the heart of the Roero, farmed organically since 2012. \"Ansem\" means \"together\" in Piedmontese dialect — a nod to Angelo Ferrio and his son Stefano who run the place together — and this is their single-vineyard Barbera d'Alba from sandy, calcareous soils at 200–250 meters with south and southwest exposures. Aged entirely in stainless steel and then bottle, it shows Barbera at its most vibrant and unadorned: deep ruby with purple flashes, full of black cherry, blackberry, and violet, with the grape's signature snap of acidity and a medium-bodied, savory finish.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinity Wine Company [VWC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42395230208035,"sku":"SF-1-VWC--051226-75","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Cascina-Ca-Rossa-Langhe-Nebbiolo-Funsu-2023-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1779317722"}],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/brand-cascina-ca-rossa.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
