SOMETHING SIMPLE
Mushroom and barley stew
Earthy mushrooms meet the savoury finish.

The producer
Cascina Borgatta: a life among Dolcetto vines
Maria Luisa Barizzone grew up among the vines her parents planted at Cascina Borgatta in the early 1950s. With Emilio Oliveri, she carried that farming life forward in the hills of Tagliolo Monferrato. Dolcetto and Barbera remain the focus, grown organically and fermented spontaneously, with the patient, practical approach of a family deeply attached to its land.
