Red

Sansussì

By Renato Buganza, Roero, Piemonte, Italy

Renato Buganza Sansussì

Organic red with no added sulphites, from native grapes, made by a manual method developed by the family. The name means 'no problem'. Part of the family's Radici e Filari line.

Tasting notes

Ruby red. Delicate, persistent nose of red fruit. Pleasantly dry and medium-bodied, with notes of fresh plum.

Pairs well with

Pulses, first courses and complex main courses; the producer likes it through a whole meal, especially as an aperitif.
