FUSO

FUSO…characterful daily drinkers from our producer friends in France and Italy!

Every year after harvest…people in Europe fill up large glass demijohns from their favorite producers…to later siphon off into smaller bottles at home. We’ve spent lifetime exploring the best terroirs to work only with organic producers we trust for characterful daily drinkers from our producer friends in France and Italy!

The idea originally came in 2018 during a producer visit after harvest and to check on wines after fermentation. The scene was a patchwork of around fifty large bulbous glass demijohns filling the cellar floor between concrete tanks, élevage hoses, and boxes of wines stacked here and there.

When we asked taste what was in the demijohns,the producer took hold of the slender wine thief and gave us a taste. It was delicious! It was also just the kind of characterful daily drinkers. No tank farms! 

We asked the producer to siphon off the demijohns – old school style – into 750ml bottles. We shipped the bottles like that as naked “shiners.” For future batches, we worked with an Italian artist to make lithographs from which we would stamp the labels and FUSO was born!
